London, Mar 03: Paul McCartney is back on the cartoon trail, 20 years after his best-selling ''Rupert and the frog song.'' The former Beatle, an avid fan of animation since childhood, is releasing ''tropical island hum,'' the tale of wirral the squirrel with a liverpool accent. ''In animation, it's good to have a bit of a childlike quality about yourself and i certainly have. It's just something that is in me,'' said McCartney, announcing the imminent dvd release of the short film.
''I'm still fascinated by the things that fascinated me as a kid,'' said McCartney whose ''Rupert'' cartoon was the best-selling video of 1984. It was accompanied by the chart hit ''we all stand together".
