What's The Point?

Submitted by ub on

This is a fabulous animated film. The story teaches our children good lessons about peaceful existence, individuality, and self-worth.

Once upon a time, a long way from here, there was a tiny village where everything, the houses, and the carts, the bridges and the barns, everything, all had points on them.

In fact, it was so full of points, that even the people had points! The people, right there on top of their heads! And it didn't seem strange at all, because that's the way life was in the village. That's the way it always had been, and for all anybody knew, that's the way it always would be.

The Point! is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's no point to it
