Tubby the Tuba (1975 film)

Tubby the Tuba is a 1975 American animated musical-comedy film, based on the 1945 children's story for concert orchestra and narrator by Paul Tripp and George Kleinsinger. It was released on April 1, 1975, by Avco Embassy Pictures. The film was produced by the New York Institute of Technology, under the supervision of its founder, Alexander Schure, who was the project's director. Nearly three decades before the release of this adaptation, stop-motion innovator George Pal made a 1947 Puppetoon version also based on Tripp and Kleisinger's work, which was nominated for a Best Animated Short Oscar, but lost to Warner Bros.
