00:00Today, Rupert sets out to make his mother's wish come true, in Rupert and a White Christmas.
00:17There's a little bear that you've never seen before, who's a lot of fun.
00:23Children everywhere, gotta love him more and more, he's the number one.
00:30There's a million stories to be told, all the things that he's done.
00:37And he's gonna share them all with you, so come along.
00:44Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone sing his name.
00:51Rupert, Rupert the Bell, everyone come and join.
00:57In all of his name.
01:05Mrs. Bear is busy putting the finishing touches to the snow scene on the Christmas cake.
01:10Oh, it's beautiful, says Rupert admiringly.
01:16Yes, and wouldn't it be nice if we could have a White Christmas too?
01:20I wish it would snow, sighs Mrs. Bear, picking up the cake and carrying it away.
01:28Suddenly, Rupert has an idea.
01:32Wizardy whiz, I'll ask Willie.
01:35Somebody mention my name, asks Willie, dropping in unexpectedly as usual.
01:44Goodness, you were quick, Willie.
01:47Mummy wants a White Christmas.
01:48Yes, so do a lot of other people, Willie explains.
01:54And the Snow Queen is in despair.
01:58You see, she can't make it snow if there isn't any snow in the first place.
02:02Yes, but, but where does snow come from then?
02:07Get your chariot and I'll show you, chuckles Willie.
02:14Now, where's he going all of a sudden?
02:17Dear me, he's always taking off somewhere.
02:21Rupert has, and he and Willie streak through the sky, up and up and beyond,
02:29until they come to a large, fat cloud,
02:32where an old man sits staring glumly into space.
02:37Hello, Grandfather Snow, says Willie.
02:40I've brought Rupert Bear to see you.
02:43And he lands neatly beside the old man.
02:46Good afternoon, says Rupert politely.
02:49I suppose you want a White Christmas.
02:54Rupert nods eagerly.
02:56Well, I'm afraid I can't help you, little bear, sighs the old man.
03:02You see, my tears make the snow.
03:06But I've been thinking of so many sad things for so long,
03:10I can't feel sorry anymore.
03:13I know.
03:15Why don't you try laughing instead?
03:17Why, what an excellent suggestion, cries the old man, cheering up immediately.
03:25I'll go and fetch my friends, and we'll make you laugh, Rupert promises.
03:30Rightio, off we go, says Willie, as he hurtles the chariot through the sky.
03:35Oh, look, there's Edward, Rupert shouts excitedly as they zoom over the common.
03:42And Bill, and Poggy.
03:45The chariot swiftly descends.
03:49Come quick, Rupert calls urgently, waving at his friends.
03:53What's the matter?
03:55They demand, and Rupert quickly explains.
03:58So you see, if we can make Grandfather Snow laugh, till the tears run down his face, adds Willie,
04:05We'll have a white Christmas, cries Rupert.
04:09His friends are more than willing to help.
04:13Rupert is wearing a straw boater and a large red nose.
04:18Poggy is wearing a mop as a wig of hair.
04:22Bill has two simply enormous shoes on the wrong feet.
04:26And Edward has a top hat, several sizes too large.
04:32Old Grandfather Snow begins to chuckle.
04:35Ho, ho, ho, I feel better already.
04:39I shall now recite Hamlet's speech, says Rupert, bowing low.
04:44To be or not to...
04:46Edward comes on, carrying a plank.
04:48Whoops!
04:49Hey, mind my hat!
04:52I say, where are you going with that plank?
04:56To a board meeting, declares Edward.
04:59Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
05:04Chuckles the old man.
05:05To be or not to be, that is...
05:08Bill comes on with a shovel.
05:11Hey, where are you going with that shovel?
05:14I was asked to dig up an old friend.
05:18Grandfather Snow is enjoying himself.
05:20Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
05:24He roars.
05:25Rupert tries again.
05:27To be or not to be, that is the...
05:30A little recitation by Poggy.
05:33And the little pig steps in front of Rupert.
05:36I eat peas with plenty of honey, which makes them taste rather funny.
05:41But I've been doing it all my life.
05:43It's the only way they'll stick to my knife.
05:46And Poggy waves a knife, covered in honey and peas.
05:50The old man laughs louder.
05:54Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
05:57Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
06:02Sorry, folks, says Willie, suddenly popping out of Edward's top hat.
06:07But it's time for bed.
06:09We've brought you some joke books, says Rupert.
06:12What did the big chimney say to the little one?
06:15I don't know.
06:17What did the big chimney say to the little one?
06:19Asks Grandfather Snow.
06:21You're too young to smoke.
06:23Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, dear.
06:28Oh, thank you.
06:29I haven't laughed so much for years.
06:32Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, good-bye.
06:35Bye.
06:39What goes ninety-nine plonk, he reads?
06:44A centipede with a wooden leg.
06:47Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
06:49and they can still hear him laughing ten clouds away.
07:03When Rupert wakes up the following morning,
07:05it's already light and his stocking is bulging full of exciting shapes.
07:11He leaps excitedly out of bed.
07:14What a strange light, exclaims the little bear going towards the window.
07:20Oh, it's snowing.
07:23And it's been snowing all night long.
07:26Rupert is delighted.
07:28Oh, thank you, Grandfather Snow. Mummy will be pleased.
07:33Why do birds fly south for the winter?
07:36Because it's too far to walk.
07:39Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:46Much later that morning, as Rupert is eating his breakfast surrounded by his presence,
07:51there's a thump at the door.
07:53That's a funny kind of knock, he exclaims, puzzled.
07:57He looks out.
07:59But there's no one there at all.
08:01Suddenly, he spies a large snowball in the middle of the lawn.
08:07I wonder who threw that.
08:10He goes closer.
08:12Why, it's got my name on it.
08:15And sure enough, Rupert is written on it in large letters.
08:21He stoops to pick it up, when suddenly the snow falls away to reveal a large parcel.
08:29Daddy, Mummy, come and see what I've found, he cries excitedly.
08:34Goodness gracious me, exclaims Mrs Bear.
08:38Oh, it must be from Grandfather Snow, cries Rupert excitedly.
08:43It is.
08:44And Rupert is delighted, for it's a whole box of practical jokes.
08:50Why don't you send one of your Christmas party invitations to Grandfather Snow, suggests Mrs Bear.
08:57Oh, yes.
08:58Oh, but how?
09:00The same way, by snowball, chuckles Mr Bear.
09:06So Rupert wraps an invitation into a snowball.
09:09Snowball, snowball, little snowball, you shall travel far.
09:15Up into the sky so you must go, like a meteor to Grandfather Snow, cries Rupert, hurling it into the air.
09:24Up and up and up it flies, until it's lost to sight.
09:29Everybody has been invited to Rupert's Christmas party.
09:33Suddenly, there's a thump outside.
09:36Rupert goes to the door.
09:39There is a simply enormous snowball outside.
09:43It bursts open, and there is Grandfather Snow.
09:48Grandfather Snow is a great success.
09:51The life and soul of the party.
09:53Waiter, waiter, shouts Podgy.
09:56What's that fly doing in my tea?
09:59The breaststroke, I think, sir, giggles Rupert.
10:03Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
10:06Please, Rupert, gasps the old man.
10:09Don't make me laugh anymore, or I might cover your house with snow.
10:14Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
10:18Rupert, Rupert de Bell
