Film Notes

Released in line with the hugely successful ‘We All Stand Together’ single, Paul’s Rupert and The Frog Song went on to become the biggest selling video of 1985 and was later nominated for the Best Music Video – Short Form at the 1986 Grammys. As well as featuring the main story of Rupert's adventures with the frog chorus, the video also came with two other short films, 'Seaside Woman' and 'The Oriental Nightfish', both featuring music by Linda McCartney.

In 1984, the year of its release, it won a UK BAFTA (British Academy Award) for Best Animated Short Film.
