In September 2004, the film was re-released on DVD Tales of Wonder Music and Animation Classics (also called Paul McCartney – Music & Animation Collection), to mark its 20th Anniversary, along with two other shorts directed by Geoff Dunbar, Tropic Island Hum and Tuesday. The video also included two other shorts with music by Linda McCartney: “ Seaside Woman” (a song credited to Suzy and the Red Stripes) and, “The Oriental Nightfish“. The video was released simultaneously with the single “We All Stand Together” and became the biggest-selling video of 1985, as well as being nominated for the ‘Best Music Video – Short Form’ at the Grammy Awards in 1986. At one point, the song “ Little Lamb Dragonfly,” which was recorded in 1971 and released on the 1973 album Red Rose Speedway, was intended for the film. McCartney had been planning his Rupert movie since at least the early 1970s, when his company, McCartney Productions Ltd., acquired the rights to the film the day after the Beatles’ break-up. Windsor Davies (voice) – Rupert’s Father, Edward, Father Frog Paul McCartney (voice) – Rupert, Bill, Boy Frog After hearing his mother call him, Rupert excitedly rushes home to tell his family about what he saw. After a thunderous applause from the frogs, the owl, who had followed Rupert to find out where the frogs were hiding, launches itself for an attack on the royals, but Rupert manages to warn the frogs in time and they all quickly retreat, leaving the owl and the cats empty-handed and the palace completely empty. Around the end, the frog King and Queen rise out of the water before the crowd to finish off the song.

There, he witnesses the Frog Song, an event that occurs only once in a few hundred years in which various frogs of all shapes and sizes come together and sing “ We All Stand Together“. He sneaks into the palace, trying to avoid getting caught by the frog guards. He walks into a cave behind a waterfall and sees three signs: “Frogs only beyond this point”, “Everything except frogs must be kept on a lead”, and “Guard frogs operating”. Upon the rocks, Rupert finds a large number of multicolored frogs. As he leaves, a large white barn owl and two black cats decide to follow him. Suddenly, he finds himself enveloped by a rainbow cloud of butterflies previously masquerading as leaves on the oak tree, and all of them swarm away from the leafless tree towards a rocky outcrop Rupert cannot resist following them. As Rupert reaches a hill, he props himself up against the trunk of an oak tree and enjoys the glory of the countryside. With his Mother’s blessing, he sets off for a jolly trip, encountering his friends Edward Elephant and Bill Badger along the way, who are too busy to join him – Bill needs to look after his baby brother and Edward has to do some shopping. Rupert Bear decides to head off for a walk on the hills. It was released in 2004 as one of the segments of Paul McCartney: Music & Animation. The song “We All Stand Together” from the film’s soundtrack reached No. The film was released theatrically as an accompaniment to McCartney’s film Give My Regards to Broad Street. The making of Rupert and the Frog Song began in 1981 and ended in 1983. Rupert and the Frog Song is a 1984 animated short film based on the comic strip character Rupert Bear, written and produced by Paul McCartney and directed by Geoff Dunbar.
