The Point (1971)

We kick off Dolin December with a look at an animated special from 1971 that features three different narrators and music by Harry Nilsson: The Point. Narrated by Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman, and Alan Thicke, the story follows Oblio, a pointless boy, who is exiled to the Pointless Forest and his dog Arrow. It's reminiscent of Rankin and Bass and after-school specials but also features fantastic songs by Nilsson. Pulp Serenade's Cullen Gallagher, DC Titan's Richard Hatem, and artist Maggie the Odd join Chris to talk about the film, the music, and the three narrators.You can follow Chris Stachiw at @Casualty_Chris and the Kulturecast @kulturecast.
