Rupert Bear: Follow the Magic... is a British animated children's television series based on the Mary Tourtel character, Rupert Bear. Aimed at pre-school children, the show is part stop motion, part computer-generated imagery. Rupert Bear still wears his trademark bright yellow plaid trousers and matching scarf, with a red jumper. Rupert has brown fur once again, just as he was originally drawn in 1920: when he appeared as a cartoon character in the Daily Express, they economised on ink by printing him white.[2]
It was broadcast on Five from 8 November 2006 to 1 February 2008, as part of their Milkshake! block. 52 episodes were produced.
The series was available for streaming on Peacock, but was later removed.
