The Great Rupert is a heart-warming tale about a lovable trained squirrel who inadvertently helps a family of vaudeville performers who are down on their luck. The incomparable Jimmy Durante is the unemployed Mr. Amendola, who's family moves into a converted garage adjoining the home of the only one in town getting rich during the Depression. The stingy landlord thinks he's hoarding his money in the wall between the two homes, but when Rupert the squirrel moves in, miracles can happened! Audiences thought that Rupert was a real animal, but actually he was a puppet animated through Pal's Academy Award - winning PUPPETOON technique a forerunner to the computer-generated images of Toy Story and Jurassic Park.
