Critics

Audience

Shortly before Christmas, a family moves into an apartment where Rupert the squirrel lives in the attic rafters. Just as it seems that the holiday will come and go without so much as a Christmas tree, Rupert acts as the family's guardian angel - not only saving Christmas, but changing their lives forever.

My take

A whimsical 1950 fantasy film where a magical squirrel named Rupert helps a struggling family discover hidden treasure, blending heartwarming charm with delightful adventure. It's got that golden-age Hollywood magic where everyday people stumble into extraordinary circumstances through pure-hearted encounters.
