Today I have something a little different for you — some Saturday morning cartoons, so to speak. These are clips from the movie The Point!, which was written by Harry Nilsson and narrated by Ringo Starr (other versions had different narrators). When I was a kid, my Yiayia recorded this movie from TV but the tape ended just before the end. For years I never knew how the movie ended and this was so frustrating!
What I love about the movie are the songs and the animation done by Fred Wolf. The whole movie is very hippie which is not my usual style, but I think the animation is so beautiful. These clips aren’t the best of quality, but one of the things that really strikes me when I watch it at home is the sketchy ink drawing and pops of bright color. I love the texture of the painted parts, which remind me of watercolor on YUPO. Enjoy.
