Rupert Bear was born on November, 8th 1920 in London as a comic character in the Daily Express. Rupert Baer and his friends from Nutwood are fantastic creations of the British illustrator Mary Tourtl. Every child in the UK recognizes and loves the cute little bear.

Rupert Bear and his funny friends Bill Badger, Edward Trunk, Ping Pong the Pekinese and her pet baby dragon Ming, Raggety the Tree Elf, the mischievous Fox Twins Freddy and Freda all live in Nutwood, a magical dreamlike world with fantastic and playful elements like Ping Pong’s colourful pagoda, a wonderful tree house or a magical underwater world with whimsical mermaids. Rupert Bear introduces children to world’s natural wonders and inspires their fantasy with always new, surprising adventures from Nutwood. Magic is a natural part of Rupert’s world. Although he himself has no magical talents, he – and his viewers – explore fairytale-like landscapes and experience magical adventures together with his friends.
