Yes a great one! I had heard from someone that the TV version was coming out on DVD- don't know if it's true.

Movie??? I remember the cartoon when I was but a meer child...My son was with me when I was listening to it and said that he saw the cartoon recently...
I would love a copy of it and for some reason I thought there were more songs in the cartoon than on the album...
They used to play "Me and my Arrow" on the radio...

The animated film

The film version of The Point! first aired February 2, 1971, at 7:30pm on the ABC television network as a "movie of the week." The film was directed by Fred Wolf and produced by Fred Wolf Films in association with Nilsson House Music. In this version, there is a framing device of a father telling his son the fable as a bedtime story. In its initial airing, the voice of the father was provided by Dustin Hoffman, but for contractual reasons later airings of the film could not use Hoffman's voice and it had to be re-recorded. The VHS and DVD releases feature Ringo Starr as the father. The voice of the son, and of Oblio, was provided by Mike Lookinland, an actor best known as young Bobby Brady on the television series The Brady Bunch. Alan Thicke also narrates a version VHS as the father of Oblio.

I originally saw it in a theater, not on television.
 
Local "Talk Radio" for me...

Background...my daughter is watching a "Project Runway" marathon...and trying to sew her first project...
 
I got rather late to this thread, nonetheless, while I'm continuing to scan my shots from a recent trip, I am listening now to some most wonderful music :
"Stella by Starlight" :
John Coltrane - tenor sax
Canonball Adderley - alto sax
Bill Evans - piano
Paul Chambers - bass
Jimmy Cobb - drums
AND
Miles Davis - trumpet.... geez ....this is music...
