Rupert And The Frog Song - We All Stand Together

[@deolimar1977]

I'm 45 years old and last Christmas I showed this song and video to my nephew, telling him that this was one of my favorites when I was his age(8). that same day he repeated the video several times 😍

[@jodiemaslanka8853]

I am 47 and this brings back happy memories. I think I still have this on a 7" vinyl single

[@sampeacaml9307]

Aaaw. I stumbled upon this short as a teen on youtube. I loved it.

[@emmapadgett1181]

Almost 48 and this is one of my favourite Christmas memories

[@JetsonDrums]

I’m a 40 year old man and I still tear up watching this. It’s so evocative of my childhood, the music and animation is beautiful and it reminds me of simpler, happier times when I was a kid.

[@SoloLap]

Who'd have thought nearly thirty years on I'd be sat here with my 3 year old on my lap, mesmerized. I'm so glad technology allows us to keep experiencing these things with a new generation.

[@Sabari611]

ditto!!!!

[@spottyhag]

Yes!

[@matthewweatherford6566]

I wish more parents would introduce today's kids to old things. Last December, I introduced my 2 year old cousin to the original stop motion Bob the Builder (even the original British version despite growing up watching the American dub) and he liked it. Some old things still work on today's little kids regardless of what the companies behind the reboots think.

[@dodgecoronet68]

The tune of this song brought up tears to my eyes when I was a 5 year old kid. 21 years later the same thing still happens whenever I listen to it. I feel like somebody pats my back telling me: "everything's gonna be ok, don't worry, we're all here to help you through".

[@Chalky.]

This song really brings my mind back to those carefree days of being a kid.

[@allisong6]

I remember watching this when I was 7, and seeing my mum n dad come home after about of chemo. Later she sat watching my sister. That night she sat on my bed sink or swim I promise to never give in. Sadly that was a promise she could not Keep. But in my heart n memories we stand together. Esp as I look at my children during cv19 fight the fight! Stay blessed and safe and tell someone you love them ❤️

[@paulbodman5474]

In a world sometimes rife with hate, this is 13 minutes and 55 seconds of pure unadulterated joy, with a message truer now than ever. We all stand together.

[@marus815]

I remember my father showing me this when I was a little girl... Miss you everyday, dad...

[@Vonnie666]

😥

[@151mattwilson]

I've just started to cry at your comment Marus because I've just finished showing this to my 4 year old daughter who was mesmerized and loving every moment

[@STAGENAME1]

They really should show this on television again, especially at Christmastime. There's something very magical about it that wold make it ideal for Christmas morning when the children are opening their presents.

[@martinknox303]

I agree with you

[@justanotherrandomcrit8115]

Paul McCartney really _is_ a master at literally everything.

[@nmonye01]

I watched this as a child and this melody stayed in my head all these years. Such a great song and powerful lyrics made me teary eyed😘

[@charwest9449]

Mothers create a warm and wonderful home, someone to tell your adventures to, someone who believes you. Paul loves that so much.

[@gunier.j.kintgenanimations]

I bet a lot of people probably don't know this, but Paul McCartney, along with writing, composing, & producing, also voiced Rupert in the short! You gotta admit, for a guy in his then early 40's, He pulls off a great children's voice. Not to mention, the superb quality of the animation itself. This was during about the middle of what I call "The Cartoon Dark Age", When animation of any decent quality was only seen in feature-length films, theatre shorts were practically non-existent, & the only cartoons on TV were either meant to sell you an action figure or a bar of soap. To see something like this in 1984 back then must have been jaw dropping!

[@c3l3br1tysk1n]

he also voiced bill, Edward and the little frog!

[@deolimar1977]

Thank you

[@Illusionary22]

Awh, I remember my nan buying me this on VHS when I was younger, love this film so much, and it means so much to me!

[@marus815]

I remember my dad making me watch this when I was a kid. He loved it,and so did I. I miss you daddy...

[@Azazael-ks6yf]

I was two and a half when I first saw this clip and we'd just moved to Australia, didn't realise it had been out since 1983

[@TheAceSpaceman]

This is so english that my plain water just went full hot tea...I love this so much.

[@dawnfinch8232]

@trek2space absolutely I feel the same

[@scottdavenportmckay]

Me too! I could have sworn I put a Kirkland coffee pod in the Keurig, but it turned out to be piping hot Earl Grey tea! Not complaining, though. I love this cartoon and the song! I'm going to show this to my nephews!

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Make me a cup of Tea then lol

[@brendanvandermerwe6952]

Gosh Rupert the bear used to be my favourite thing to watch on a Saturday morning when I was a kid. I would remember waking up, grabbing my blanket and pillow and watching this on the box tv. Ktv South Africa. Gosh I miss those days. Was not a worry in the world, all that mattered was what I had planned for that day with my friends, causing havoc in the neighbourhood, riding bikes, building tree houses, gosh my parents were still married then, now everything has changed. Least myself on enjoys watching this . Too many memories

[@sophiehanssel2017]

THAT CARTOON IS SO CUTE! This makes me wanna hug Rupert Bear

[@Chalice1017]

We had this on a mix tape 35 years ago - listened to it on loop in the car one family holiday in Devon 😍 My older sisters described the singing frogs to me but I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen the video ❤️

[@ezza2x899]

From a simpler time, take me back to when I was a kid watching this

[@mammiekimmie]

this goes from my ears directly under my skin, and works out in in a million goosebumps... This is wonderfull and I will watch this over and over again, like almost 30 years ago. Tomorrow I'm going to show my own children, that I didn't grew up in stone-age, and that animated films were far more beautifull then they are made today. Thank you so very much for sharing! With best regards and greetings from The Netherlands!

[@soaf1985]

This brings back so many memories. I remember on rainy days in primary school, they would roll out the tv and this was one of the things they would play. The good old days 😊.

[@jacobbarham9360]

Truly amazing when u consider that Rupert the Bear was created in 1920 and was still influential enough to play a key role in my childhood considering I was born in 1998, nearly 80 years later

[@christianlennon1979]

I must have been 6 and I can still remember as though yesterday, ah good childhood memories. Thank you Paul & Linda

[@trenisa1983]

Hehe I was that age too :) haven't seen this since I was a child. Great memories

[@peloquin1979]

Same here. Hurrah for memories!! I remember this and the cartoon version of Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe at that age too.

[@sweetlikechocolate437]

@@peloquin1979 I love the animated version of #TheWitchTheWitchAndTheWardrobe 1979.

[@michaelasquith]

I was 1 year old, when Paul McCartney released The Frog Chorus. I remember 1 Christmas, my late uncle, my mum's cousin bought me some Rupert The Bear trousers. Happy memories. RIP Uncle John. 😥

[@flaviasu]

I love so much Paul McCartney, I'm only 12, when I saw that I passed to love him more! :') Wonderful!!!

[@ahmedelsheikh1987]

Felt the nostalgia... miss those days when everything was simple and pure.. i wish i could raise my childs with the same heritage i got

[@paulmay6812]

Ahmed Elsheikh you can!!

[@JasonJason210]

You can - my son is 6 and we just happened to read this story one night. Then I searched for this song and showed him that straight after it. He thought it was amazing.

[@realityslidersmandelaeffec6594]

I was 20 and expecting my first daughter. ..wonderful warm memories of a happier time.

[@burty2007]

Classic song. Shame they do not make fun songs like this anymore .Marvelous animation for the time it was made. Imagine what it could look like now with today's technology. Excellent video goes along with excellent song. Long may it be remembered and played for many years to come. All credit to Paul McCartney's creation.

[@garyphillips006]

This will always remind me of sitting on the sofa with my grandad on Christmas eve aged about 7. I'm 37 now but still remember it. 😊

[@christinehaworth4924]

I was a bit older but I remember seeing this at the time, at about circa 1984 or something like that.

[@rhondafoy7403]

Jeez, haven’t seen these for time, wow. Brings me right back to yesteryear 😊

[@CyanideCircuits]

I'll never forget watching this on a VHS with the Oriental Nightfish and Seaside Woman.

[@Josie.Tran.]

I watched this when i was 6 , and now I'm 30 years old. Still love this movie.

[@secretone8606]

Absolutely beautiful instrumentation and singing

[@manny-77]

Discovered today thanks to an Internet radio playing xmas songs...then i saw this video and that is a McCartney song...simply wonderful!!!

[@sarahdubairealestate]

Unlocked so many memories watching this..woke up with this tune in my head and decided to search on KZbin to watch it again ..Thank you for these precious memories ❤

[@evelinedevogel]

A meaningful song in these hard times.

[@cats4life809]

People around my age dont know what GOOD songs are like this. This song gives me a feeling that says. Dont worry. Were here for you. We love you. You can count on us

[@mangostar5]

I remember watching this when i was really young, i didn't think i'd see it again. ahh memories

[@ryanmcgrath339]

Oh my days I remember watching this at my Nan and grandad house when I was like 8 years old I'm 41 now damm 33 years ago

[@ThePhantomFeather]

That was definitely a trip down nostalgia lane haven't seen this in at least 14 years. Probably more.

[@monicapatriciaenrico2532]

Really great story and the music.

[@DamoMcDermott]

Was my best song when was a child

[@ecampbell2711]

I remember watching this when I was a kid...now I'm 36 and my baby daughter loves it too. Her little face lights up when the song starts, and she bounces along 🥰

[@williamheywood9115]

I got a Rupert Annual up until my 8th Christmas. I miss those days when everything was new. fantastical and ,innocent ' I was blessed with a very happy childhood , and if given half the chance . I would return to those carefree days forever. Sadly those days are gone and the Word has moved on.

This is so nostalgic... I remember watching it when I was a child

[@id53]

My son had to dance to this in a school musical. He's just 5. Now we both love it.

[@longWriter]

What's amazing about Rupert---which reminds me of when I was a kid---he steps out of his parents' house, and finds the adventures. He doesn't need to activate a secret computer program to jump to the digital world or whisper a magic rhyme while holding a seashell to find adventures or anything like that: he simply steps out his front door, the same way he would if he was going to school or going to a friend's house, and either the adventures come to him or he goes to them. Playing outside as a kid really _was_ like that once, albeit with fewer supernatural elements.

[@direkramseychikboy9102]

This video reminds me of my 9yo son who is always on the move and never get tired exploring around

[@elang7961]

Damn I dint even know it was Paul McCartney cartoon, now my life is complete He is a famous beatle

[@me1love2max]

Don't know why, maybe it was due to companies using this song for TV advertising, but this always reminds me of Christmas when I was a kid... Back when I believed in everything Christmas... Thanks for posting :)

[@elizabethevans9047]

It so reminds me of Christmas too😍

[@elizabethevans9047]

I've, just looked it up amd this was released in June 1983 but Paul M, re-released it for the Christmas charts in 1984! Thats why it reminds us of Christmas 🙌

[@MegaDazza87]

Great song and thank you for those wonderful childhood memories. R.I.P Windsor Davies and June Whitfield.

[@Pantbera]

I was always mad about the music but I never knew the lyrics and I also never would have thought it was actually part of a short story. I truly love classics. This was wonderfully and brilliantly designed, composed and animated and those who performed as the frogs had beautiful voices.

[@georgezee5173]

I know that feeling! I just found out which song was this! It's been more than 25 years since the last time I listened to it but the melody and the animation got stuck in my head.
