Spoilers ahead
Rupert Bear decides to head off for a walk on the hills. With his Rupert’s Mother blessing, he sets off for a jolly trip, and along the way he runs into friends Edward Trunk and Bill Badger, who are far too busy to join in: Bill needs to look after his baby brother and Edward has to do some shopping. As Rupert climbs higher, he settles against the rough trunk of an old oak and basks in the liberating calm of the countryside. Then, quite suddenly, a rainbow cloud of butterflies—once disguised as leaves on that very oak—swirls around him and, one by one, flutters away from the leafless tree toward a rocky outcrop. Rupert, entranced, can’t help but follow the gleaming swarm.
