The Point

Years ago, there was a place called The Land of Point, because everything in The Land of Point had one: the barns, the houses, the cars, everything, even the people. Everyone in The Land of Point had a point at the top of its head. Everyone, that is, except Oblio, who was born round-headed. Since he had no point, Oblio, along with his trusty dog, Arrow, was banished to the Pointless Forest. Join them to see what wonders await these two intrepid travelers as they make their way on their amazing, song-filled journey of discovery!
_The Point!_ is a vintage 70s made-for-TV animated feature by singer / songwriter Harry Nilsson ("Everybody's Talkin'", "Me and My Arrow"--from this soundtrack). This dollar store mash-up of _The Yellow Submarine_ (it's even narrated by dollar store Beatle Ringo Starr) and Saint-Exupéry's _Le Petit Prince_ explores racism and intolerance, so is a perfect cartoon for any 9-year-old who's tripping balls on psychedelics.
