Right to the Point.......2005-10-25

As with other reviews I think this is a great coming together of beautiful music, witty words and of course some excellent animation.

Despite first being aired on BBC2 back on Boxing Day 1970 (grey cells may have let me down but I am pretty sure it was then) this stands that test of time.

Harrys playful songs fit well with some of the more serious lyrics and he uses his superb voice to tremendous effect to both. In the original he narrated it himself, although I think in this DVD Ringo has the pleasure.

The film has two levels - a fun cartoon with jolly music, and a serious message which is still relevant (and needed ?) today.

It is about time the BBC dusted it off, paid the royalities to his estate and let more people enjoy what was a unique talent.

Poly high

At last - THE philosopher's tale.......2004-05-24

At last this masterpiece has been released! I first saw it on Christmas TV some 30 years ago! Nillson was a philosopher of the first water, his delightful imagery combined with skillful lyrics and music are a joy to watch. Experience the Rock Man and his wisdom, guiding Oblio through his journey of exile from the racist and separatist world of the Land of the Point. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing it again (and again, and again!)

Harry Nilsonn : The Point.......2004-04-23

Great story, Great animation and the music is absolutely superb. Nilsonnat his imaginative best. Never mind 'the Snowman'. It's THE POINT thatshould be shown every Christmas on television. And for all of people whodont have a multi region DVD player how about releasing a region 2version.

Excellent.......2007-09-01

I thought Johnny and the Bomb was wonderful. I watched it because I have been a fan of Zoe Wanamaker for over 10 years and, while I wasn't sure what to make of this to begin with, I was won over with the excellent acting by all and the story.

Poor adaptation, read the book........2007-06-14

I was very disappointed in this. They turned the plot around so that it doesn't make sense, the story loses most of the charm of the book and it's terribly miscast, particularly Zoe Wannamaker. Really, don't bother, read the book, which is delightful.
