The Point (1971) Part 2

An animated story of an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio(provided by Mike Lookinland, an actor best known as young Bobby Brady on the television series The Brady Bunch). Despite his round head, Oblio has many friends. But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw. Along with his faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest. There, he has many fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees, a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock). From his adventures, Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in life. Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson ("Me and My Arrow"), who also wrote the story. Ringo Starr narrates.

@goldensleeves The point is, you don't need a point.

I watched this with my 2 sons back in the 70's! I was looking for a Nillson song and stumbled across this. Another viewer shared that they purchased the video from CD Universe; I just purchased it for my 4 1/2 year old granddaughter to watch. This has a universal message of love, understanding, and so much more.
