Young Oblio is a round-headed lad who lives in a land where everybody literally has a point ... on the top of their head. When his secret is revealed he is banished to the Pointless Forest where he goes through a series of adventures that prove you don’t need a pointed head to have a pointed life. It’s the kind of kids’ story that sounds almost too cute to be bearable, but it’s saved by some dynamic art and a lovely musical score by Harry Nilsson, who also wrote the story. Ringo Starr does a nice job narrating the story, which really helps when you get to the more cloying parts, and Mick Lookinland, better known to millions of TV viewers as Bobby Brady of The Brady Bunch, is good as the voice of Oblio.
