The Point is a fable that tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything must have a point. Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, Oh Everything has a point, and if it doesnt, then theres a point to it. The round headed Oblio has had to wear a pointed hat since birth to conceal his pointless condition from his pointy headed peers. However, Oblio is accepted in the town despite his nonconformity until one day when the son of an evil count is unwittingly dishonored by Oblio. The counts son challenges Oblio to a one on one game of Triangle Toss where participants catch triangles on their heads. Oblio wins with the help of his dog Arrow.

A jury reluctantly convicts both Oblio and Arrow leaving the king with no choice but to send the pair away. Oblio and Arrow are sent to the Pointless Forest, but soon discover that even the Pointless Forest has a point. They meet curious creatures like giant bees, a pointed man pointing in all directions who proclaims A point in every direction is the same as no point at all, a man made of rocks, three dancing fat sisters, and a walking, talking tree who helps Oblio see that everyone has a point, though it might not be readily displayed. Oblio and Arrow spend the night in the Pointless Forest, then awaken to a large stone hand with the finger pointing to their destination. They take the road indicated by the hand and make their way back to the Land of Point, where they receive a heros welcome from the lands citizens, and the king. Oblio begins to tell his story but is interrupted by the furious count, who is then silenced by the king. Oblio tells the king and the people of the land that everything has a point, including the Pointless Forest, and himself. Angered, the count pulls off Oblios pointed hat but is taken aback when he sees a point on top of Oblios bare head. Upon this revelation the points of everyone else in the land disappear and pointed buildings become round. The Point album, unlike the later film, features Nilsson himself telling the story directly to the listener, providing all the characters voices as well as the narration. A comic storyboard, illustrated by Gary Lund, was included with the vinyl record when it was first released. Torrentz will always love you. Strings Full Movie more. Farewell. 20032016 Torrentz.
