Getting to The Point - Ep. 14

While Yellow Submarine broke ground on combining music and animation, we think Harry Nilsson’s The Point deserves just as much attention. Join us as we explore this lost gem that originally started life as an ABC TV Movie of the Week!

I'm 58 now. I remember seeing this first run as a small child. I've watched it many times since with Ringo, and Alan Thick narrating. I still listen to the sound track LP/CD often. Both are great works by the amazing Nillson!

Great video!! Thank you for sharing! 😁

Make the last few seconds disappear so people won’t skip your video. I’m not sure exactly how it works, but that could be costing you money. Thank you for sharing this!

You're seeing the results of KZbin's endless dinking with parameters. They've now reduced the amount of time that certain links can be shown at the end of a video. When I originally made this episode the links to subscribe and play the "TV episodes" playlist were visible as the labels you see on the screen are shown. I don't like KZbin's built-in editor, which would be the only way to now reduce the length without losing all of the episode's stats and comments. Thanks for the heads up!

Dean Torrence of Jan & Dean did the Album cover and also the Claymation.

I don't know about Dean Torrence doing the design, but there's no claymation involved in the cover or the accompanying comics, not to mention the film which was produced completely in traditional 2D cell animation. The album cover is actually needlepoint, I ran across the name of who did that in my research, which I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't Dean Torrence. Thanks for your input though!

@@alterpast If you look on the lower corner of the cover. It has a KT. Kathy Torrence Dean's sister. Kitty Hawk Graphics was Dean's Album design Co. The claymation was done before and was the inspiration. It is shown as part of a special package on it.
