Rupert	comment	Rupert is a 1990s adaptation of the British children's comic strip Rupert Bear. The show was produced by the world-famous Canadian studio Nelvana, and lasted for 5 seasons and 65 episodes (1991-1995, 1997). It originally aired on Canadian kids channel YTV as one of the very first animated series to be produced for the channel, but also appeared in the States on Nickelodeon (and later CBS) and in Britain on CITV.Like the comic strip, the show's two dominant themes were adventure and friendship. Rupert's passion for adventure, discovery, and mystery was only matched by his desire to see everyone become friends and be as happy as he knew they could be.In addition to its Science Fiction and Fantasy Kitchen Sink setting containing Lions and Tigers and Humans... Oh, My!, what made the show stand out from other shows of the era (and after) was: Instead of having the same large team or ensemble of friends in every episode, Rupert's friends took turns individually being the sidekick on each adventure, each of whom had a unique relationship with him (i.e., Gregory was shy and timid but wanted to be as brave as Rupert, Edward was overly cautious and didn't want to be as brave as Rupert (Rupert never let him get away with that), Bill was just as brave as his best friend but would avoid any situation where it was necessary if he had the choice, and Ottoline could be too adventurous even for Rupert's taste!); Despite being seemingly as anvilicious as any show targeted at preschoolers, it actually strictly adhered to "Show, don't tell." For example, despite emphasizing the importance of friendship and teamwork, the word "friendship" was never once spoken in the entire series. Instead of listening to lectures on how friendship made everything better, you watched it happen without commentary; and Striking a balance between converting and punishing villains. While Rupert usually tries as hard as he can to get his enemies to change their ways, and he did help plenty to see the light, plenty also had to be defeated and/or arrested in order to set things right.Every episode is on Youtube, thanks to Nelvana's Treehouse Direct channel.

The aforementioned birds from "Rupert and the Twilight Fan", who believe that only birds are allowed to fly and are strongly against flightless beings so much as inventing flying machines. They eventually see the error of their ways when the Professor's flying machine is used by penguins native to the Bird Kingdom and they realize that they're being selfish by denying the flightless the chance to experience flight. The owl guards in "Rupert and the Firebird" also show shades of this when they imprison Rupert on sight and refuse to believe his claim of being friends with the Bird King, Rupert having to sneak past them by hiding inside a pelican's beak.

Rupert / int_7553a0d4	comment	Nature Tinkling: The episode "Rupert and the Dragon Race" had Edward Trunk, Bill Badger, and Bill's little brother Toby stuck on an enchanted flying couch that grants one wish and one wish only to whoever sits on it. Edward already wasted his wish on being taken to Bill Badger, and Bill wasted his wish on seeing the dragons, so they try to get Toby to wish they were home. Toby instead wishes to "go pee-pee" and relieves himself off-screen after the couch takes a brief landing on a deserted island.
