better than any other disney film!, 14 September 2002
7/10
Author: andynortonuk from Oxford, England

I you cannot stand the disney films, like me, there is a solution out there; Tubby the Tuba! This charming animated film has voices from the likes of Dick Van Dyke(Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fame). So it has to be good with the likes of his voices and his top-notch singing involved in this animated feature. It is very suitable for young kids, like when I watched it for the very first time, because of the very good songs throughout the feature, particulary "Om-pah,om-pah,om-pah-pah"! The animation isn't as "expensive" as the works of disney! I'm surprised the disney empire has not spoiled or thought of ruining the charming story of a tuba who attempts to find a melody. And if they did I'll be disgusted! This is a fine story as it is without their "modifications" involved!

So, like i said, it's a really good film, especially for children! Any other children's films will do just as well, but i personnally recommend you should invest in this unknown animated feature.
