Yes to the former link. It ran for 5 Seasons, but was made in America (probably to give it a certain twist on it, like Disney did with Winnie-the-Pooh as his stories weren't as familiar to the Americans as they were to the British).
The second one was English-made, and used images and the couplets from the actual Rupert annual stories.

I already knew it was by Nelvana, and that they did all those other cartoons and animated adaptations, but I wasn't aware it was actually Canadian...
That's cool.
Well, its more of a collaborative effort between some French, British, and Canadian companies.

Actually, the Rupert you are referring to with 5 seasons and made in America, was made in Canada by Nelvana, the same animation company known for the Care Bear s, Babar, Pippi Longstalking, Inspector Gadget and MANY other series.
