peefyn This a charming movie. The animation is simple, but nice. It feels like picking up a children's book and reading it, which is also what bookends the whole story. The character design is mostly quite nice, and some of the characters are visually great fun. The same goes to some of the sequences, especially the imagery during the songs. While it's not ground breaking in any way, the look is sweet enough that the movie would probably appeal to fans of animation.A big draw is Ringo Starr, who is the narrator/dad in the home media release of this movie. He does a good job, as does Harry Nilsson singing the soundtrack. But I do kind of wish that the same person would have done both.The story itself is simple, but nice. It drags a bit at times. And while it mostly works, it might be a bit of a stretch to base a 60+ minutes story around a single pun. But the moral of the story is safe and probably understandable to the young target audience.

Armand the way in forest. the questions who becomes answers. the voices of Ringo Starr and ... , entire atmosphere - thin border between fairy tale and parable. more than beautiful/successful animation or wise lesson about yourself and the other, it is a splendid film about basic things who gives sense to life. and the manner to told the story of different boy and his dog, the meetings and dialogs does not only a good impression and, for many, food for nice memories , but, in same measure, a fresh and powerful warning. not the tolerance is the subject but the science to build it. so, a necessary film. for the seductive emotions. for the lovely atmosphere. and for a clear image of everyday universe.

baorkin Absolutely wonderful animated film. Great to watch with kids from 4 to 104. The version with Ringo Starr as the narrator has recently been re-released. I personally prefer the versions narrated by Dustin Hoffman and Alan Thicke but Ringo is fine, as well. Great birthday or holiday gift for a child from 4-12. It can be watched over and over. I first saw it at age 17 and used it as the starting "point" for a high school retreat. I started watching it with my children when they were toddlers, and I am seeing it again with with my youngest who is now 15 and seeing it for his 3-4th time. He asked to watch it with his younger cousin who had not seen it yet. A gem.

rebeljenn Classic, memorable songs and simple lessons in life, 'The Point' makes a good story for children. The animation itself is very minimal, but this is not bad because the story is very strong and more prominent without the interruptions that animation can sometimes bring. 'The Point' is all about fitting in and the importance of differences in individuals. It is a touching story with many classic and memorable songs. I saw this film when I was about ten, and seventeen years on, I still remember this film because of its unique animation style, the touching story about outcasts and individuality (which I could feel for), and the memorable songs ('Just Me and My Arrow'). This film should be watched by all children, especially those that feel bullied or like outcasts and by those that do bully others. It's simply a wonderful little story. This film shows that a good animated story does not need to be wonderfully animated.
