In September 2004, the film was re-released on DVD Tales of Wonder Music and Animation Classics (also called Paul McCartney – Music & Animation Collection), to mark its 20th anniversary, along with two other shorts directed by Geoff Dunbar, Tropic Island Hum and Tuesday. The video also included two other shorts with music by Linda McCartney: " Seaside Woman" (a song credited to Suzy and the Red Stripes) and "The Oriental Nightfish". The video, distributed by Virgin Video, was released simultaneously with the single "We All Stand Together" and became the biggest-selling video of 1985, as well as being nominated for the 'Best Music Video – Short Form' at the Grammy Awards in 1986. At one point, the song " Little Lamb Dragonfly," which was recorded in 1970 and released on the 1973 album Red Rose Speedway, was intended for the film. McCartney had been planning his Rupert movie since at least the early 1970s, when his company, McCartney Productions Ltd., acquired the rights to the film the day after the Beatles' break-up.
