Product Description

CD Description

In 1970, Harry Nilsson's THE POINT appeared. It arrived as both an animated television special and this soundtrack. Thealbum alternates seven warm and sprightly songs with seven bits of narration (also by Nilsson), which together present Nilsson's delightful little fable. However, the songs do stand perfectly well on their own. "Me and My Arrow" was a hit at the time, and found its way into people's consciousness again in the '80s when it was used in a car commercial. The story's themes are universal and the songs and their arrangements are catchy to children without being cloying to adults."Think About Your Troubles" sports a confident vocal that melds the blues with Broadway. The orchestrations throughout the entire album (arranged and conducted by George Tipton) are supple, supportive, and slyly inventive.

5.0 out of 5 stars But where is the film?, 25 Nov 2003
By stark raven maven (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
When I was about ten or so the animated film of Harry Nilsson's The Point album, narrated (I think) by Dustin Hoffman, was shown on the BBC. Where is that film today? It was so great that i still remember it, over thirty years later, and I think children today should have the chance to see it.

5.0 out of 5 stars crazy musical story time, 12 May 2003
By A Customer
This album is good. Really good. The smooth songs melt into a great surreal dream-like(do I mean seriously drug-fuelled?)story. This kid and his dog, Arrow, live in the land of point, where everything and everyone has a point. Unfortunately our hero has the strange misfortune to have a round head. Everybody else in the land of point has a pointy head and so he is banished to the pointless forest. Great album, great story, great songs. It makes you wish you were a kid again, except that when you were a kid, you never heard such great stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why can't I get a copy of the original cartoon?, 5 Dec 2004
I was pleased to see the review from another Amazon customer - So, I'm not the only one that's been looking for the film. I've been searching for years for the video and now for the DVD. It was one of the best feature-length cartoons of all time, but it seems to have disappeared without trace. I was interested to see that a DVD has been generated, although it's obviously not the original, but it appears that it's only available in Region 1 format, so no good to the great majority of UK and Europe customers. If someone can come up with a DVD of the original cartoon, it should sell like hot cakes.
