Still one of the best half-hour cartoon "specials" ever to air on American network television.

There's still debates among animation fanatics whether the best narration is Nilsson's ( the Soundtrack album), Dustin Hoffman's ( aired for the original broadcast only) or Ringo Starr's ( the one on the commercial distribution). I have both the latter on VHS, & the Soundtrack, & Nilsson's is close to my heart, but Hoffman's is pretty terrific.

I had no idea there was an animation of it until at least high school in the late 90s when I was telling a friend about The Point and he said "that weird cartoon narrated by Ringo Starr?"

The youngest brother from THE BRADY BUNCH is the voice of Oblio. Worth finding, it's a gem.
