Harry Nilsson - Are you sleeping

[dhjustin]

I dunno if i could sleep with the earthquake those three fat ladies in the song bouncing around are causing

This movie was absolutely MAGIC for me. I loved the story, I loved Oblio, I loved Arrow, and most of all I LOVED all of the incredible music. I could never understand why on earth it wasn't shown every year like The Wizard of Oz, The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins, (I loved all three of them as well. Thank God we live in a time when treasures like this are available.

I was fascinated by this as a child..never forgot it.

This and other songs from "The Point" are so good; all of Nilsson's stuff during this 5 or so year period was great. He was in his prime.

[michaelslack1]

I too watched "The Point" back then. What a wonderful critical commentary it was about our very dead, conforming time. And how fun! I didn't realize that Dustin Hoffman did the voice of the father. How perfect. He is still a BIG critic of our very self-centered, self-destructive, self-absorbed society now.

I watched "The Point" when it was originally broadcast, in 1971, and I loved it. Dustin Hoffman did the voice of the father, then. Harry Nilsson's music was very popular in the early 70's.

Fred Wolf did the "how many licks" animation for tootsie pops! One, Two, Three, Crunch! I love that commercial and this film

[Nattycat13]

I KNEW IT LOL

[skilski2003]

Much Beatle influence in The Point, just wonder if they were "there".

[alpalanca]

john lennon was quoted saying harry nilsson was the best singer songwriter of there time... so maybe they were "there"...

[docbass51]

I think Lennon and Ringo were house mates with Harry during those drinking years

[Nattycat13]

Thanks for that info :) I always did wonder how they connected/reminded me of each other a bit.

[zelda7792]

@skilski2003 Well, Ringo is the narrator so it's likely.

[fuzzy1012]

This sounds a lot like the Beatles. The surrealist cartoons reminds me of "Yellow Submarine", but in a different drawing style.

[Deadeye777]

the Beatles held Harry Nilsson in highest regard as the most influential american artist of their time. so yeah, I'm pretty sure they shared their sounds

[567eight9]

the cartoon was made by the same guy who drew for yellow submarine, as well as the monty pythos amimations

[keath66]

The Point! - Fred Wolf

Yellow Submarine - George Dunning

Monty Python - Terry Gilliam

So, no.

[worldwartwoforever]

very true! My sister and I thought the same thing when we saw it a cupple days ago.

[Ehler62]

I think this was on the air just one time. It was around Christmas. My sister and I just happened to be watching ABC when it came on. We were glued to the screen. Such originallity and great music writing. This had Ringo Starr and Mike Lookinglass from the Brady Bunch also. Thanks for posting, and thanks for bringing back such great memories.
