Harry Nilsson - The Point! (Deluxe Packaging)

What a Point it is!

In 1971, (i was 12) I asked my mom and dad if I could stay up and watch this cartoon on the ABC movie of the week. They read about in their TV Guide and agreed quickly.

Listening to Dustin Hoffman narrate this story of a round headed boy named Obllo living in the land of Point, I was amazed. This little cartoon had a great story and wonderful music which captured my attention.

For weeks after I saw this TV movie, I hummed and sung most of the score. I assumed my mom, dad and younger brother were sick of hearing my voice singing "Me and My Arrow". So a few weeks after I saw the movie, I got an LP of this film (The same one as this CD). Under Harry Nilsson's narration, the soundtrack was just as wonderful as the TV movie was.

It is now years later, I bought a copy of the CD. It was just as wonderful as I rememember this simple story. The music is still fresh and alive.

It transcends age. I just shared this CD with my 13 year old cousin Jeremy who enjoyed it as much as I did when I was his age. After he heard this CD, When we had gotten home, he was humming "Me and My Arrow"

You could say this fairy tale like story is a simple lesson is being a human being with a life lesson of do not judge others. However, it was and is the music that draws you into this tale..and it is the music that makes this story a great family CD to listen to

This is one of those CD the whole family can listen to it and enjoy together

A great addition to The Point collection

I got this cd for my dad on Father's Day. He is a big fan of the movie and the music, and turned me into a big fan as well. The artwork and stories that come with the cd are really cool. It's a must for any Point collector. July 8, 2008

The Point, Harry Nilsson

I have been trying to locate this movie/music for years. I have purchased vinyl albums, but always too scratchy. As children, we watched The Point religiously, like most people watch The Wizard of Oz. My sister still has an original album, but that too is too scratchy. We will share this and appreciate the message it puts out. May 9, 2008
