THE POINT (1971) Episode 40 finds The Popcorn Pals wondering what the point is, especially when there isn't one, with songwriter Harry Nilsson's animated musical from 1971, THE POINT. More than a moral story for children, grown-ups who don't understand the concept of empathy will benefit from this feature too. In these increasingly dark days, let us be a little better to one another, and pray against banishment to The Pointless Forrest. It is a terrible, obnoxious place!THE POINT is available for sale/rent on Amazon Video and iTunes. If you have an option, go with the original Dustin Hoffman narration over the rerecorded version by Ringo Starr. Both are solid, but Hoffman's is infinitely more charming and engaging.
