The Point "Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it."
Here is a movie I enjoyed as a lad. The message is simple. Just because you are different does not mean you don’t belong. Oblio the main character is born without a point on his head, and is banished from the land of the "Point". He travels in the Pointless Forest and comes back home and is welcomed as a hero when he exposes his head to be pointed in nature. Then with a flash of magic, the whole land of the "Point" loses its point and everybody gains a domed head. Sometimes you have to change in other for other people to change also.
Written and produced by Grammy Award-winner Harry Nilsson and directed and animated by Academy Award-winner Fred Wolf, The Point tells the story of Oblio, a round-headed boy living in the land of "Point," where everything and everybody has one. Since his head isn’t pointed like everyone else’s, Oblio – along with his trusty dog, Arrow – is banished to the "Pointless Forest." Once there, the adventure begins, with Oblio and Arrow encountering one extraordinary character after another as they make their way on their wonderful journey.
