My 2nd cousin Carol Beers wrote the script for the movie "The Point", which included "Me and my Arrow and this song. Harry was very talented and so was Carol, she died of lung cancer at 63 and he died of a heart attack at 52, but they left us all with a bit of their creative magic. RIP.

I was about 12 when the movie and cartoon came on tv. LOVED it! I'd been looking for it for a long time as my original tape was long gone. My kids bought another one for me but now I don't have a tape player. :) Followed Nilsson afterwards.
@user-FishermanRick3 жыл бұрын
Yes, RIP Carol and Harry. I was stressed so I found this tonight and put it on repeat. I remember KLOS in LA as a kid playing the entire album with Harry narrating then seeing much of it at night when I wasn't watching Monty Python and SNL was new. In the earlier era music and movies were censored like art and social media is today. In the late 60's to mid 70's EVERYTHING was wide open, Richard Pryor helped write Blazing Saddles etc. This album and Schmilsson 1 and 2 was Harry was at his peak. Buurrp, excuse me.

I'm a 90's child, but my dad introduced me to this movie... I grew up with "The Point", Moody Blues, The Strawbs, King Crimson, Jon Anderson, That funny song "Hocus Pocus" by Focus... (I thought song was the best when I was little)... My dad's lullabies to me consisted of "Voyage to the Moon" I know Donovan did it but Mary Hopkins was who I listened to... I would give anything to go back to being a kid... my little sister passed away in 2013, my mom in 2018... and now my dad has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer... I find myself facing losing both my parents and I'm not even out of my twenties.... and life seems so hard... but I listen to this song and remember the little girl that loved this song... and it's comforting.... thanks for uploading!

Back in 1971 we kinda knew he was an OK singer etc but its obvious he had that special gift. We love you Harry. RIP our Friend.

I didn't discover this until 1988 (I was 13 at the time) when they played the entire film (narrated by Alan Thicke) on Disney Channel. It literally woke my mind up to not judging people on their differences but rather WHO they are as humans. The album and story, though sad at times, has a very positive message. Don't judge people just because they're different than yourself. We're all equal and the human race is a wonderful melting pot of cultures

Forty years ago, one night when I was in high school, my parents went out, I got stoned, turned on the TV, and saw this excellent little cartoon for the first time. It was narrated by Dustin Hoffman. Recently, I got the DVD for a five-year old. He wasn't stoned, of course, but I think he enjoyed it every bit as much as I had all those years ago. But the evil count scared him a bit, and he covered his eyes. The DVD was narrated by Ringo Starr. I liked the Dustin Hoffman version better.
