And of course, I liked their outfit choices. I called them spiffy. Pong Ping was my favourite character; he was a Pekingese with a pet dragon, and I swear going through these books as a preschooler started my fascination with China: the dynasties, the ancient philosophers, Penjing (penzai), Chinese mythology, and so much more.

The adventures of a young bear named Rupert who unintentionally ends up in faraway and mystical places, but in the end he manages to make it back safely to his home of Nutwood.

I can safely recommend everyone to watch this brilliant and lovely series, Rupert. With 5 seasons and 65 episodes from 1991 untill 1997 based on the Mary Tourtel character Rupert Bear. 

Rupert loves adventures. Most of the time he isn’t even looking for them, but he just ends up finding them when is visits someone or goes on a walk. Rupert is fa friendly, carring kid who always tries the best and wants to help everyone. He is smart and because of his sharp eye for detail, he knows how to deal with situations and always has ideas.

A lovely, beautifull drawn cartoon with beautifull music (The original intro and outro is beautifull, except for the ones they made for Nick Jr. in the US, don’t listen to those. Not bad, just not as good). Most episodes are based on the old Rupert books, but the episodes who were written specialy for the series are just a brilliant aswell. They are full of fun, adventure, tension and sensation. 

The best is: You can find all the episodes on Youtube for free. There are also DVD’s availbe. 

Give it a try and let me know what you think of it. I hope you like it as much as i do! If you are a Robotboy and/or a Ducktales fan, you will love this series.

Going home to Nutwood, or just one more adventure today? Or just one walk and hoping it will stay with a walk and not end in a adventure?

Rupert’s daily struggles.

   The Nutwood Tree is very adaptable. Its fruit can be cracked open and the seeds can be eaten. When the bark is burnt it creates a fine, black spot that can be mixed with oil and combed through the hair to darken it. And the wood of this tree burns exceptionally well as firewood. Likewise, the very interesting Nutwood Tree person has a nature that is quite contradictory. 

On the one hand, this sign is honest, loyal and very friendly, but can instantly turn into a self-centered egoist when they feel that someone is trying to infringe on their rights. On top of that, Nutwoods tend to have all kind of unusual whims that they may not even try to hide. At times they have extreme and unpredictable mood swings and can become instantly aggressive. 

Nutwood Tree people can be quite unpredictable. One minute they are all lovey-dovey, and the next moment they can be cold and completely indifferent. This sign knows what buttons to push to manipulate the feelings of others. 

Nutwoods truly enjoy being taken care of. They desperately need to be admired and even worshipped. When they don’t get enough attention, Nutwoods may get frustrated and take it out on their loved ones. Also, they sometimes have a very jealous nature. They perceive each and every person as a potential competitor. All these traits make Nutwoods difficult and at times, unpleasent. Nutwoods are often their own worst enemies; they tend to blow everything out of proportion and complicate their own lives. And, because their personality is unpleasant at times, they may not have a confidant to share their worries with. 

The love life of the Nutwood person is also far from being smooth. Nutwoods like to dominate their partner, alternating meanness with endearment. In order to find happiness in love, Nutwoods need to find somebody who will enjoy some level of suffering and be somewhat of a masochist. 

Nutwoods are great strategists. While reasoning, they take into consideration the smallest details that other people may neglect. They can act quickly, but often they need time to think everything through.
