Better Late Then Never

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

a lot of people think this movie is about not having a point. not really true. the point is you don't have to have a point to have a point. kind of tongue twist the brain somewhat.this really is a awesome animated film and a real landmark in limited animation and also in ambitious made for television projects. in the best sense of limited animation it sustains itself through imaginative styling and inventiveness rather than through a showy budget or large scale elaboration.this film is a real mind opener not just in it's insightful message but also the way it presents itself technically and visually. there's a lot to be learned here.for a film that gives a message that you are important for just being you and that you don't have to present a point for others to understand, the point is poignant.

This is a great feature. I have seen all three versions (narrated by Ringo Starr, Dustin Hoffman and Allen Thicke). Allen Thicke sounds the most like a father and therefore, the movie plays best with him narrating. Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady of the Brady Bunch)is great as Oblio but the Harry Nilson songs steal the show. This is a great movie that shows that everyone, no matter how different, has a point and matter. I had this movie recorded on Betamax but have since lost it. I am fervently looking for an Allen Thick copy of the movie to this day. If anyone can shed light on this situation, it would be much appreciated (Cal-01@Juno.com).

My father would always talk about this movie growing up. He owns the record, which in time, found myself listening to his music. But I'd never seen the film. When I heard the DVD was available I quickly logged on, bought it and flew back home all the way from California to NY to surprise my dad. We made a night out of watching it, only for him to say that it was not the film he'd seen. But this wasn't because of the narration, as I've read from others reviews. He says it was animated differently. IS THIS TRUE?? Has anyone ever seen a different LOOKING version? I'm curious to see the "original" if that is the case.

The Point is one of those films that crawl inside you and never lets you go. I saw this film as a small child but could never remember the name of it. As an adult I asked other people if they had heard of it, and the faces of every single one of them lit up from the memory and they recalled how it had effected them as a child. But no one could remember the name of this film.It wasn't until it came out on video that I finally discovered the name. I was particularly excited to learn that the voice of Oblio's father, the Pointed Man's Right Head, and The King was none other than Paul Frees - the spooky Ghost Host of Disneyland's and Walt Disney World's famous Haunted Mansion attraction, as well as the voice of several pirates in The Pirates of The Caribbean attraction.This film ranks at the top with other childhood favorites, such as the Rankin-Bass stop motion animated Christmas specials "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer" and "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".
