• About the Film

    With one coin to make a wish

    at the piazza fountain, a peasant girl encounters two competing street performers who'd prefer the coin to find its way into their tip jars. The little
    girl, Tippy, is caught in the middle as a musical duel ensues between the one-man bands.

  • The Characters

    For Bass, it's just another day

    of playing the same old tired tune until Treble, a flashy, sophisticated newcomer, ups the tempo with his string accompaniment and charm. Bass must reach into his musical arsenal to rival Treble and impress the young girl who just wanted to make a wish.

  • The Music

    At Pixar, stories are usually first

    developed through scriptwriting and storyboarding, but music played such an integral part in One Man Band that the story and score had to be developed simultaneously. The musical sparring that's so entertaining in the final film is the direct result of the collaboration between the directors and the composer.
