Narrated by Ringo Starr, animated and directed by Oscar-winner Fred Wolf, with songs written by Grammy-winner Harry Nilsson, 1971’s The Point is an unusual, enchanting little hippie-dippy holdover, a peacenik fable of multi-culturalism and make-good that connects chiefly as a slice of nostalgia.

Set in the Land of Point, where everyone is born with a pointed head and everything — from cars and houses to the trees — has the same sort of notch, The Point‘s story centers around the one notable outsider: Oblio, a round-headed boy who, with his trusted dog Arrow, is banished to the Pointless Forest because of how different he is. Musical-themed wackiness and wonderment ensues, including the psychedelic “P.O.V. Waltz.”

Housed in a regular plastic Amaray case with a deep-seat spindle, The Point: Definitive Collector’s Edition comes to DVD presented in 1.78:1 widescreen transfer, with seven chapter stops. In addition to a slate of previews, bonus features consist of a nice quartet of new behind-the-scenes featurettes, clocking in at under a half-hour cumulatively. It doesn’t quite translate over the generational chasm, but for the oldest amongst the Schoolhouse Rock! set, there’s a certain evocative reward to be found in The Point.
