Summary: An absolute charmer and wonderful entertainment!
Review: The Great Rupert by sci-fi fantasy pioneer George Pal, directed by Irving Pichel ("Destination Moon") and starring Jimmy Durante (perhaps his best screen performance - was never ever better!) and Terri Moore (original "Mighty Joe Young") - is an absolute delight in every respect. I strongly recommend this touching and funny film for pure unadulterated family entertainment. I particularly thought the humor, Puppetoon animation of squirrel, and even Black and White photography was stunning. Also stunning is the wonderful Leith Stevens musical score who later did "Destination Moon", "The War of the Worlds" and "When Worlds Collide" for Pal (among others). It is really a goose pump piece of writing - with chorus and all. The DVD is first rate!! Also noticed that Arnold Leibovit the director who did "The Puppetoon Movie" and "The Fantasy Film Worlds of George Pal" presented the film. Good job!

Review: This is a really delightful picture directed by Irving Pichel, and staring the unflappable Jimmy Durante. Although George Pal's puppetoon technique is dated by today's standards, kids old and young alike will enjoy this picture. I was 10 years old when I first saw The Great Rupert in 1950 at the old Warwick theater in Kansas City, Missouri. It brought a tear or two of nostalgia, and the thought-why don't they make fun movies like this today? My hat's off to Arnold Leibovit for bringing us one of the best DVD transfers you'll ever see.
