Plot.
In this Puppetoon animated short film (an Academy Award Best Short Subject, Cartoons nominee), Tubby the Tuba is disappointed that his sound limits what he's permitted to do in an orchestra of self-playing instruments that, unlike him, get to play pretty melodies. A chance meeting with a bullfrog changes everything.

Wiki.
Tubby the Tuba is a 1947 American animated short film from Paramount Pictures, directed by George Pal as part of his Puppetoons series. It was based on the original song by Paul Tripp and George Kleinsinger. The film features narration by Victor Jory.
The film received an Academy Award nomination for Best Animated Short, but lost to Warner Bros. Cartoons' Merrie Melodies cartoon Tweetie Pie. A feature-length version was released in 1975 by AVCO Embassy. The 1987 compilation feature, The Puppetoon Movie, featured the original short in its entirety.
