Review of The Point

The Point (1971 TV Movie)
10/10
My all time favorite animated film
19 January 2006
I first saw this quirky gem on TV as a child and fell in love with everything about it. The message of tolerance definitely spoke to me and the music was great. Found myself singing "Me and My Arrow" many times over the years and still love that song. I later saw it on the Disney channel with Alan Thicke as the narrator and prefer that version over the Ringo Starr one that got released on video. Sorry Ringo. Wish that version was the one that got released though I'd like to hear the one with Dustin Hoffman.

Oblio, the only round headed boy in a world of pointed head people and his dog, Arrow, are banished to the "pointless forest" by the local court. They meet all sorts of unusual characters along the way and keep getting visited by one in particular, the Pointed Man, who keeps popping in and out and trying to make his "point".

Everyone should see this starting at a young age as the message is one to remember throughout ones life.
