La-Z-Boy Promotional Raccoon Slippers, 1996-1999
Add to SetSummary
In 1996, La-Z-Boy introduced an advertising campaign featuring two talking raccoons, Wendall and Al. Commercials showed the playful and loveable duo (a combination of live animals, computer imaging, and animatronics) admiring the quality and selection of La-Z-Boy product line. These unconventional spokes-animals were such a hit that the company created plush toy products to sell at their dealerships.
