The Point 1/8

This is a great animated message about ignorance and prejudice!! Way before it's time!1

i seem to remember an earlier version of this fil narrated by harry himself, but i am going back around 35 years

Oh Wow! Talk about a blast from the past !!!

Oh my goodness, other people remember this movie too! Sometimes I wondered if I'd just imagined it.

The songs still get stuck in my head sometimes!

Ah ha! A simple trek to Wikipedia answered my own question. The dad was initially voiced by Dustin Hoffman, but due to 'contractual reasons' his voice could not be used in the future. In my opinion, Dustin did better.

Agreed - heard both versions, Dustin's voiceover definitely better

Now, I loved this movie as a kid. We had this recorded on VHS from TV, and it was a tad mind-blowing as a kid, I didn't really get it some of the time, a great story nonetheless. I had a question about Ringo; I know for a fact my movie did NOT have Ringo Starr voicing the dad. It sounded like a dorky white guy. Seeing this isn't exactly the same, and as you mgiht understand this is nagging me. Anyone got the scoop?

my sister just reminded me of how my mom would play this record for us when i was soooo young. i almost forgot about this childhood memory.lol good times

I recently found a copy of this movie that my parents taped for me in 1982- it still plays like a charm! Such a great movie, such great songs, such great childhood memories.
