"The Point", a film adaptation of a story set to music by Harry Nilsson, debuted as an ABC Movie of The Week in February 1971.
Multiple versions of the film have been produced, with different performers as the father who tells the story to his young son. In the original ABC broadcast, it was Dustin Hoffman. However, the version circulating on YouTube features Ringo Starr as the father/narrator. Our cast also includes Buddy Foster (Mayberry RFD), Mike Lookinland (The Brady Bunch), and toon vets Len Weinrib, Joan Gerber (Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp), and, of course, Paul Frees.
I think Nilsson's story was also released as a book, and the animation would reflect this.
No rating. I didn't see the complete movie when it first aired.
