A young boy named Obilio lives in a town where everything is required to have a point. Having a round head, Obilio and his very good dog Arrow are banished to the Pointless Forest. During their journey they encounter an array of characters, eventually coming to realize that everything in fact has a point afterall.
Themes of conformity verses individuality, and the search for meaning and place - suitable for audiences young and old.
The surreal animation style is distinct, with bold lines and vibrant colors. There's a visually interesting and cohesive aesthetic that's very '70s. Voiced by Ringo Star, Paul Frees and Dustin Hoffman, music and story by Harry Nilsson, what more can we ask?
