"Rupert Bear, Follow the Magic..." is a children's television series based on the Mary Tourtel character, "Rupert Bear". Aimed at pre-school children, the show is part animated, part computer-generated imagery. Rupert Bear still wears his trademark bright yellow plaid trousers and matching scarf, with a red jumper. Rupert has brown fur once again, just as he was originally drawn in 1920: when he appeared as a cartoon character in the Daily Express, they economised on ink by printing him white.Cite web|last="The Independent"|title=Rupert Bear gets 21st Century makeover|url=http://news.independent.co.uk/media/article1957048.ece|date= November 6, 2006]

It was broadcast on Five from November 8 to November 20, 2006, as part of their "Milkshake!" block. Thirteen 10-minute original episodes were broadcast and subsequently repeated. Following the success of these, a further 39 episodes have been produced to date.
