An animated expansion of Harry Nilsson’s 1970 album of the same name, The Point (75 min., 1971) was directed by Fred Wolf and has a rating of 89% on Rotten Tomatoes.
It “tells the story of a young boy named Oblio, who is banished from the über-conformist Pointed Village for the misfortune of being born with a round head in a society of cone-shaped domes,” says David Filipi, Film Comment. “Accompanied by his dog Arrow, Oblio encounters numerous odd creatures during his exile, and this fanciful journey provides Wolf with ample opportunities for moments of free-flowing, hand-drawn animated splendor.”
