Tippy is a young orphan girl in the animated short One Man Band.

One Man Band[]

At the start of the film, it shows Tippy, a young orphan girl who was walking over to a wishing fountain in the center of what appears to be a town plaza. As the girl is about to place her coin in, she is suddenly distracted by Bass, a man who was playing several brass instruments.

She runs over to give him her coin, but then Treble, another one-man-band with string instruments appears. As the two compete for Tippy's coin, she accidentally drops it, and it falls into a grate.

Upset, Tippy takes a violin from Treble and the offering cup from Bass. After some tuning, she plays an unexpectedly impressive tune, causing an unseen passerby to give her a huge bag of coins. As Tippy goes to the fountain with her newfound coins, she begins waving two of them in the faces of the one-man-bands, but she tosses them into the top of the fountain to spite the two musicians for their rivalry and for causing her to lose her coin.
