Oblio the Boy with no point...
An animated story of an unusual kingdom in which everything and everybody is pointed - except for a young boy named Oblio. Despite his round head, Oblio has many friends.
But an evil count, jealous that Oblio is more popular than his own son, says that without a pointed head, Oblio is an outlaw.
Along with his faithful dog Arrow, Oblio is exiled to the Pointless Forest where, he has many fantastic experiences (including encounters with a 3-headed man, giant bees, a tree in the leaf-selling business, and a good-humored old rock).
From his adventures, Oblio learns that it is not at all necessary to be pointed to have a point in life.
Music composed and performed by Harry Nilsson ("Me and My Arrow"), who also wrote the story. Ringo Starr narrates.

The Point! is a fable and the sixth album by American songwriter and musician Harry Nilsson about a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where by law everyone and everything had to have a point.
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 in the land is unwittingly dishonored by Oblio. The Count's son challenges Oblio to a one-on-one game of Triangle Toss (where participants catch the triangle on their heads), which Oblio wins. In a fit of rage, the Count (who wants his son to rule the land one day) confronts the King, who is a good King, to reaffirm the law of the land, which states that those who are pointless must be banished from the kingdom and into the Pointless Forest. A jury reluctantly convicts both Oblio and his dog Arrow (who helped him win the Triangle Toss), leaving the king no choice but to send the pair away.

Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
taking the high road
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow
And in the morning when I wake up
she may be gone
I don't know
and if we make up just to break up
I'll carry on
oh yes I will
Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
Me and my Arrow
straighter than narrow
where ever we go
everyone knows
it's me and my Arrow
