Rupert and The Frog Song

Rupert and The Frog Song is the animated short which featured the Paul McCartney song 'We All Stand Together'. It begins in the real world with Paul McCartney in his attic going through an old trunk where he finds an old Rupert the Bear annual. We are then transported in to the animated world of 'Rupert and the Frog Song'. This is the full cartoon which starts with Rupert going out to play, and then coming across a sign which says 'Frogs Only Beyond This Point'. Ignoring it he hides amongst the crowds for the once in a lifetime performance from the Frog Chorus "We All Stand Together". And then he goes home for his tea! :-) Rupert and The Frog Song DVD
