The Point

1971 · 74 min Animation Family Fantasy Adventure
6.9 / 10 · TMDB

Years ago, there was a place called The Land of Point, because everything in The Land of Point had one: the barns, the houses, the cars, everything, even the people. Everyone in The Land of Point had a point at the top of its head. Everyone, that is, except Oblio, who was born round-headed. Since he had no point, Oblio, along with his trusty dog, Arrow, was banished to the Pointless Forest. Join them to see what wonders await these two intrepid travelers as they make their way on their amazing, song-filled journey of discovery!

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Fred Wolf constructs the narrative as a series of allegorical encounters, each gently deconstructing the rigid dogma of the Land of Point. The film relies on the power of music and simple, flowing animation to explore the complex idea that true worth needs no sharp edges for validation.

What lingers after the final frame is a warm, melancholic sense of wonder and a handful of songs you'll find yourself humming. It's a gentle, psychedelic fable that champions the round pegs in a world of square holes. — MovieFinder Editorial
