The Great Rupert is sci-fi pioneer George Pal's first feature film. Starring Jimmy Durante in one of his most memorable screen performances, "The Great Rupert" is the heart-warming tale of a loveable trained squirrel, a puppet animated through Pal's Academy Award-winning Puppetoon technique, who inadvertently helps a family of vaudeville performers who are down on their luck.
