ThiefHott Too much of everything

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Rupert and the Frog Song" is a 14-minute animated movie from over 30 years ago. The writer and director is Emmy nominee Jeff Dunbar, but the most known names here are obviously Beatle Paul and Linda McCartney. And maybe you have to be a Beatles fan in order to appreciate this one as I am not and I did not. I think the animation is not great for the 1980s, neither is the story and I have heard better music in Disney films from 40 years earlier. The voice acting is okay I guess, but this cannot make up for all the negative factors. I also don't see how this film delivers on a dramatic or emotional note. Not at all. As a whole, I am glad this was such a short film as I found nothing about it memorable. Not recommended.

bts1984 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.

Carol Sandford 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.

razzbeary This animation film is so well done! My kids are now in their 20's but still insist that this was one of their favorites when they were young. It's content is clean and adorable. If you have kids it's a must for the DVD collection. And even if your an adult you will probably like it. It would make a great de-stress movie for someone who has work burnout etc. It definitely shows that Paul McCartney & his wife have talent in this area. A good addition to your collection of kid boredom busters, along with your Richard Scarry books and your Fraggle Rock movies, which my boys also adored. McCartney's can be proud of themselves on this one!
