Pretty Good

Just perfect...

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

the way in forest. the questions who becomes answers. the voices of Ringo Starr and ... , entire atmosphere - thin border between fairy tale and parable. more than beautiful/successful animation or wise lesson about yourself and the other, it is a splendid film about basic things who gives sense to life. and the manner to told the story of different boy and his dog, the meetings and dialogs does not only a good impression and, for many, food for nice memories , but, in same measure, a fresh and powerful warning. not the tolerance is the subject but the science to build it. so, a necessary film. for the seductive emotions. for the lovely atmosphere. and for a clear image of everyday universe.

This is a great feature. I have seen all three versions (narrated by Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman and Allen Thicke). Allen Thicke sounds the most like a father and therefore, the movie plays best with him narrating. Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady of the Brady Bunch)is great as Oblio but the Harry Nilson songs steal the show. This is a great movie that shows that everyone, no matter how different, has a point and matter. I had this movie recorded on Betamax but have since lost it. I am fervently looking for an Allen Thick copy of the movie to this day. If anyone can shed light on this situation, it would be much appreciated ([email protected]).

First of all I must say this is probably one of my favorite animated films of all time, the music is off of one of my favorite albums of all time, and the animation is very unique and of it's time. That out of the way one of the most annoying complaints I here about this movie is that the message of racial tolerance is way to ham-fisted. Well yes, it is ham-fisted, yet it was a broadcast "cartoon" and that message is one of the bigger messages in it, so it could be more easily understood by the masses. However the message I dig most about the picture is that every thing has a point or a purpose. (except for the pointed man who said, "a point in every direction is the same as no point at all" and the fact that he was of no real help and he didn't really do anything for the plot) Anyway enough rambling, If you like good music, beautifully animated films, or just something to show the kids that has an easy to understand wholesome message watch this film, you'll be thankful you did.

I'm really glad I stumble around IMDb.com. The memories are awesome. I almost fell out of my chair when I ran across "The Point" starring round-headed Oblio and his obnoxious contemporary, the count's son. Oblio ended up taking some journey of self-discovery, and I can scarcely recall what happened or how or with whom, though I recall that he returned home a dyed-in-the-wool hero. I was surprised to learn that Mike Lookinland--Bobby Brady, no?--voiced the title role. This unique cartoon--hitherto buried in the depths of my memory--afforded a beautiful lesson in individuality and self-respect worthy of a Johannine parable. I only wish the count's son got what was coming to him. (Rich kids tend to act that way, and they tend never to suffer for it.)
