Tiger: His Fall & Rise (2004)
Singing Rubber Frogs Are Punny.
"Tiger: His Fall & Rise" is a short film by a novice director (apparently, this is his first attempt after leaving a career in PR) which made the festival rounds in 2004-2005. Self-proclaimed "film noir", the black & white film centers around a small rubber frog named Tiger. Tiger, who does not speak (or move much, being rubber), becomes a major singing star -- an overnight success. Nobody apparently notices (or cares) that he can only sing one song. Eventually, Tiger has to cope with the trappings of stardom (ego, drinking, debauchery, etc.) and forgets the people who got him to where he was in life.
This is not truly film noir, rather a mild comedy that falls flat. The high point? The song that Tiger sings repeatedly in the short run time. Once you see the film, you'll never really forget it. For that reason alone, force someone to watch this with you. Otherwise, no one will really believe you when you describe it -- or sing the song that will just NOT get out of your head!

Kitschy, Creepy Fun!
Update to the previous user's comment: This movie was released on DVD in January 2005.
Strangely fun story - with a bit of a Scooby-Doo ending. Noel Coward's landlord character is fantastic! If anyone does post a spoiler here (and I am a fan of a good spoiler) do NOT read it before seeing the movie. Half the fun of this film is the suspense. The other half, of course, being the bizarre characters and general eerie feeling of the movie.
The soundtrack of this film is by the British Invasion band, The Zombies. The poppy, beat-driven music is a great juxtaposition against what's happening on-screen.
