Kellogg's Cocoa Hoots wasn't on the market very long in 1972, probably was off the shelves before the year was out, and so was its mascot, Newton Owl.
This introductory spot features Pat Buttram (ex-Green Acres) as Newton.
Buttram was also heard in Disney's funny animal adaptation of "Robin Hood", also in 1972, and I believe worked on some other films for the studio.

Yes, Pat did a lot of work for Disney. He also voiced characters in "The AristoCats", "The Rescuers", "The Fox and the Hound" and "A Goofy Movie".
As with a lot of actors, turning to toons extended Pat's career.
