I know of a Cartoon but an Orchestra playing this I'm visioning this all in my Head just like the Cartoon I tip my Hat to you Guys!

I had it on 78 when I was a kid. Had to turn it over half way through but we listened over and over. We also had The Ugly Duckling by Danny Kaye.

Dude, I remember watching this as a cartoon when I was younger! Song brings back so many memories.

I loved this cartoon as a kid and my kids did too. Now they are grown and this brings back so many memories :)

Love this! Maestro Hobart was one of my conductors at Boston University SFA Orchestra.

I love tubby the tuba. Brings back memories

I knew George Kleinsinger in the 1960s. His penthouse at the Chelsea Hotel was filled with exotic plants and creatures.

My orchestra director showed this to me. I play the violin and the tuba. I love this piece.

Beautiful, our son will love this; thanks for your service

This is marvelous

THIS IS FREAKING EPIC I REMEMBER THE CARTOON STORY WHEN I WAS A KID THIS BOUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYES, THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS !

Fun fact - if a tuba were to be unwound, it would be thirty feet long!

I long ago heard of this piece, but this is the first time I've ever actually heard it. I suspect it's difficult to listen to without a smile on one's face.

9:27 Beautiful flute solo!

This warmed my heart. Loved the cartoon tubby the tuba and hearing this was pure magic

i found a tubby the tuba tape when i was 5 (in 2009) don't remember how but i remember watching it and relating to how the tuba felt. i loved it and watched it over and over and over. Then in first grade my music teacher asked if we knew a movie called tubby the tuba and of course i did, she was so surprised and asked if i had it so the class could watch it next time, and we did. :)

What a wonderful performance. Thank you musicians for sharing the gifts of your talents with all of us. It brought back memories and I will be sharing this and the story with my great nieces. Thank you.

Tubby will come in handy if we need to communicate with 1970s flying saucers.

I first heard this on an LP when I was about 10 years old. I was never "tubby"... but I could identify with being a bit "different"... perhaps this is why I eventually became a pro conductor. It's not always "being green" ...sincerely...Kermit the frog. THIS performance and narration is a gem! However, I always thought it was Maestro Pizzicato. My memory must be escaping... LOVE THIS!

Wow. Fantastic job! George Kleinsinger would be proud. I'd love to see you do guys perform The Toy Box.

Fantastic! I enjoyed this. As I like the original from 'Hello Children Everywhere!' I like my brass, especially the tuba. It was good see it demonstrated on a full orchestra. Good to have narator as well. Just finished it off nicely!

Most enjoyable - a great version, really made me smile. :-)

Thank you for this! I loved watching this all the time, singing along, dancing! The music and story sang straight to my soul. :)

Oh, I loved this cartoon as a kid. I've been trying to find it for my children - does anyone know anywhere I can stream it?

-2:19 no offense but it’s trombone not celesta! Besides, you said celesta twice!

Please where is the sheet music for the orchestral version here with strings? I can only find a band version for sale.

Ooops, sorry trombone guy!!!
