"The Point!" is a children's musical that was originally released as a concept album in 1970 by Harry Nilsson. It tells the story of a boy named Oblio who lives in a village where everything and everyone has a point. One day, Oblio is born without a point on his head, which leads the villagers to shun and discriminate against him. Eventually, he is banished from the village and sets out on a journey with his faithful dog Arrow.

Along the way, they encounter various characters and obstacles, including a giant bees' nest and a man named Rock Man who is made entirely of rocks. Oblio also discovers that everything has a point, even if it's not visible. He eventually returns to the village and confronts the Pointed Man, who is in charge of enforcing the village's strict point-based society. Oblio's journey teaches him and the village about the importance of individuality and acceptance.

The musical features a variety of musical styles, including rock, pop, and jazz. It has been performed in various formats over the years, including stage productions, animated television specials, and a full-length feature film. "The Point!" has become a beloved classic among children and adults alike, with its themes of diversity, inclusion, and self-discovery remaining relevant to this day.
