5.0 out of 5 stars Best Everbody should watch movie ever!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024

Although this movie may seem like a children’s type of movie, Nielsen has clearly embedded adult content into the “Point” he is trying to make.
I first saw this movie when I was in fifth grade, and watch it periodically throughout my life. I always seem to glean a new “Point” of interest that I had not recognize before. This is a great movie to watch with any age kids, and watch repeatedly as they grow for other subtle points of view.

The album and related DVD are a treasure that clearly demonstrates Harry Nilsson's genius as a songwriter and a person of great humor. The story is well suited for all ages because it teaches a valuable lesson that there's nothing wrong with being different and to embrace who you are.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teach your children lessons about fairness and racism in a kid-friendly and fun manner
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2006

The Story:

"The Point" is a great animated film. I grew up watching "The Point" because my parents taped the movie from TV sometime when it aired. A round-headed boy grows up to the age of ten and is then exiled from his hometown of pointed-headed people because he looks different from them. He and his dog wander through a forest and come upon different characters living there, each with a lesson of some kind to impart on the boy. I won't give away the ending, but you will smile.

The Music:

Throughout the story, songs from Harry Nilsson are played and, like an animated music video, you get lost in the songs. The songs do not have much to do with the story as it progresses, but they are not childen's songs. Rather, Harry Nilsson's songs are warm and easy to sing for adult and child. As a child, I sang them all the time.

The Animation:

The animation and character design are really interesting. No anime or CGI here. It looks to be hand-painted and definitely a product of great imagination.

Recommendation:

"The Point" is a great film and songbook that you can use teach your children about the problems and unfairness of race and discrimination without images of violence. I also recommend "The Point" to any fan of Harry Nilsson or Ringo Star (who narrates the film).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great character film with good issues for discussion
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2004

The movie is very fun for kids and adults - the music is catchy - Oblio is endearing and we do care for his honesty and smarts - the artwork is fantastic and often wierdly abstract. The characters Oblio meets all point his thoughts towards the truth he is struggling towards. Ok, so Ringo may not have been the best narrator - he sounds like he is just reading along and often emphasizes the wrong parts of speech. More annoying is that this digital transfer seems to have been done from a flawed master - there are lots of "dusty" blemishes that could easily have been brushed out before committing it to DVD. There are no extras at all either - kinda short-changing the millions of people who love this movie.
Having said that, it really is a classic and it will cheer up everyone who watches it. It is a funny, thought-provoking, tale of a boy's mission and it makes its many "points" in a gentle and creative way. Kids will relate to Oblio and he will help them think about the law, crime and punishment, bullying, discrimination, ethics, character, growing up, caring for nature, purpose in life, danger and fear, and making a stand. They can wonder and wander along with Oblio through this magical treat which is a feast for the the mind, the heart, the ears, and the eyes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blast From The Past

I enjoyed this as a TV movie when I was many years younger than I am now. When I spotted it on Amazon I elected to grab a copy to watch with my 2 year old grandson. I'm certainly glad I did.

The movie, with it's thinly veiled "you're unique, just like everyone else" theme, narrated by Ringo Starr and featuring many great songs by Harry himself, is quick moving and brilliantly sketched. Add a 5.1 audio track and you've got a cartoon masterpiece.

I'm not sure if I get more pleasure from watching this video in an all new format, or whether it is the pleasure of watching my grandson sing and dance his way through each viewing of the movie, or if it a blissful blend of the two, but I've certainly gotten my money's worth from this purchase.

You'll love the action, you'll love the songs, you'll love relaxing and taking it all in. Considering the great Amazon price, how could you possible go wrong?

5.0 out of 5 stars Just like I remembered only better

I watched this as a kid over and over on beta. I think my parents taped it from a TV broadcast. And then we transferred that beta tape to VHS and I remember that parts of the songs sounded kinda twangy or off key but I still liked them. I bought this for my 11 month old daughter. She doesn't understand what's going on, but she loved the simple cartoons and giggled at the dog. She loves music and was dancing to "Me and My Arrow". And it was a delight for me too! I finally got to hear the music as it was intended! No more bad copy of a copy from an old tube TV. Goodness how far we have come. I am looking forward to watching this with her as she gets older and can better understand the "point" of the story... ;) It would be soooo cool if they were to make the music surround sound, but it's still great nonetheless.

5.0 out of 5 stars Getting the Point

When "The Point" came out as a TV special, I was in college and watched it with my best friend. In the 70s we couldn't run out the next week and buy a DVD so we just kept hoping they'd show it again. Meanwhile, we'd sing the few words we remembered from the song "Me and My Arrow" and hum the rest. On a recent visit, my younger sister brought along a DVD and said "You're going to love this!" When i saw the title I couldn't believe my eyes. I remembered it immediately and was thrilled to see that it had been released on DVD. Time has not diminished my enjoyment of this wonderful little film. I ordered a copy for myself and one for my friend and we are both absolutely delighted to know that something of this quality has not been lost to the ages. Everyone, regardless of age, should see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right to the Point

As with other reviews I think this is a great coming together of beautiful music, witty words and of course some excellent animation.
Despite first being aired on BBC2 back on Boxing Day 1970 (grey cells may have let me down but I am pretty sure it was then) this stands that test of time.
Harrys playful songs fit well with some of the more serious lyrics and he uses his superb voice to tremendous effect to both. In the original he narrated it himself, although I think in this DVD Ringo has the pleasure.
The film has two levels - a fun cartoon with jolly music, and a serious message which is still relevant (and needed ?) today.
It is about time the BBC dusted it off, paid the royalities to his estate and let more people enjoy what was a unique talent.

FINALLY found this after so many years of searching. First saw this in the early 70's! If you lived through the 60s this is IT. Best music by Harry Nilsson, iconic characters, LOVE Ringo's narration, so ahead of it's time. You will never forget Oblio and Arrow and will hum the songs in your head forever.

Yes I saw it years ago at Christmas (1971) and I'm so glad its finally available.
One gripe though....
Wheres Dustin Hoffman's commentary.... or even Harry's??
And calling it stereo or for that matter Dolby Digital 5.1 is a real cheek.
My home AV does it better on its own under 'Rock' or whatever. I could have done better with the Stereo soundtrack, some sound effects from the BBC Cd collection and Pro Tools in an afternoon. Shoddy presentation, it deserves much much better.
