A Disappointing Continuation

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I like Rupert the Bear, he isn't my favourite animated character but he is very likable and charming like his adventures. Rupert and the Frog Song was a big childhood favourite, and I am not afraid to admit I have a big spot for it now. The animation is very colourful and beautiful, and I also loved that in some parts of the cartoon it was dark and mysterious as well. The music is wonderful too, not just the incidental music which is full of charm, atmosphere and magic but also the song We All Stand Together, which is very spirit-raising and by far my favourite asset of Rupert and the Frog Song. The story is memorable and brimmed with likability and charm, the writing is funny and sharp, the pace is just right and the characters- not just Rupert but the cute frogs- are engaging. The voice acting is also spot-on, so overall, this childhood favourite is still a winner. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This wonderful animated short was part of my childhood. I absolutely adored to watch this over and over as a kid. Today it is a cartoon that I highly respect and admire for its excellence and the strong nostalgia effect it has on me. It's a timeless classic. It's pure, childish, artistic, charming, extremely nostalgic, relaxing for the eyes and soul... a great little masterpiece. A more innocent cartoon than this is difficult to find. It is as innocent and harmless as a cartoon can be. You don't see anything like this now. Ah, those were the days!This short is very colored, but it also has some darkness and a certain spooky feeling thanks to a darkness that is only comparable to Disney's classic 'The Rescuers'. You know, the feeling of being in a scary and forbidding place which is strengthened thanks to the brilliant music that really has that creepy feeling. But still, it isn't too frightening even in the darkest moments (then again, like 'The Rescuers'). The artwork is wonderful, even in the darker parts (once again, comparable to 'The Rescuers').The song "We All Stand Together" is truly delightful and eternal. The sequence itself is very jolly and animated: I mean, a festival of dance and music with nothing but frogs at the rhythm of such a jolly song?? Good heavens! There is nothing like this!Incredible as it may seem, this short is a production by Paul McCartney and his then wife Linda. Paul even voices a few characters, such as the lovable little bear Rupert.This is a short that should never be missed in any collection of gold classic animated shorts/films. It is rather special and makes you feel really good.I'm not aware of the title of this in Portugal, which is a shame.

"Rupert and the Frog Song" is fantastic. An excellent alternative to the Disney's shorts, being enchanting, magical, sweet and a timeless classic. This was produced by the ex-Beatle Paul McCartney and Linda McCartney (his wife back then). Paul McCartney also voices some of the characters, including Rupert. It's one of the many animated shorts I grew up with. Very nostalgic.This short was released theatrically in 1984 as an accompaniment to Sir McCartney's feature film and soundtrack album "Give My Regards to Broad Street". The album includes one of Paul McCartney's best songs ever, "No More Lonely Nights".Rupert Bear (the popular humanoid bear originally created in 1920) is the protagonist of this short. Enchanted by the pure beauty of nature, he goes for a trip to the hills. He relaxes in a peaceful environment and appreciates everything surrounding him. He also lives a small adventure by finding a place that is only for frogs.He enters silently, despite being a forbidden place for other animals. The 3 signs he reads are very clear about that: «Frogs only beyond this point», «Everything except frogs must be kept on a lead» and «Guard frogs operating».What happens next is something to live forever in our hearts and memories: a show of music and dance only by frogs. All of this at the sound of the cheerful song "We All Stand Together". We also see frogs in balloons and the King Frog and the Queen Frog rising out of the water in a moment of glory.The only characters that give a minor dark side to this short are the Barn Owl and the two black cats. A music of suspense plays when they appear. But their roles are minor. Aside that, there's absolutely nothing dark about this.This animated short is wonderful and very artistic. It's a rich production full of graceful details, beautiful backgrounds, well drawn characters and most everything else is perfectly drawn and painted. In other words, the artwork is excellent.This shouldn't be missed in the collection of any lover of classic animated movies and shorts.This should definitely be on Top 250.

Being a massive Rupert fan as a child, I just fell in love with this short film as soon as I saw it with my now grown up children, and I still own a copy of it myself. Next stop is the DVD version.I wish they'd bring Rupert back. We need his innocence and his love of adventure for our future generations. He'll never go out of fashion, and I think Paul & Co's voices were perfect.The fact that Paul McCartney took time out from being a Rock God to compose this stunning piece of movie and music is truly commendable. I wish he'd do some more. The song/movie is still hot, judging by ebay etc, so it would definitely make money, in my honest opinion.But just knowing that there are children, and adults out there waiting to watch and listen to his mini masterpieces, I'm sure, would thrill Paul, and Linda, God rest her soul.
