"This is the town and these are the people. This is the town where the people all stay." Talk about old-timey. 😏😁😄 Anyone here remember an animated movie called "The Point?" It was originally narrated by Dustin Hoffman, the reprised by Ringo Starr, then Alan Thicke. #Animation #Imagination #Comedy

"This is the town and these are the people, this is the town where the people all stay. This is the town and these are the people, that's the way they wanted it, that's the way it's going to stay. Farmers kept the villagers' bodies nourished with pointed crops. The artists' colony in the community, as in all communities, did their part to keep minds and souls filled with new points to view. This is the town and these are the people, this is the town where the people all stay. That's the way they wanted it. This is the point, everything's got them. A good life was settled life, and the point was the point of it all. You could look high and you could look low, but you'd never hear any complaints on that count. That's the way they wanted it. Well, almost never. That's the way it's going to stay."

I have no memory of this. OG Sesame St must not have had the rights. It&#39;s where I saw the most creative pre-internet animated works. There&#39;s one about the crack in the wall that is eerily ominous, and another favorite is a girl waiting for rain during a drought. Thank you!</p> </div> </div> <!-- Replies --> </div>
