The Point Tapestries
Description: A whimsical vintage illustration from the 1971 animated musical The Point, featuring Oblio—the only round-headed boy in the Land of Point—wearing his signature yellow cone hat and accompanied by his loyal dog, Arrow. The vibrant circular design bursts with colorful characters, quirky landscapes, and playful arrows pointing in all directions, symbolizing the film’s themes of individuality and acceptance. The distressed texture enhances the nostalgic charm of this early ’70s cult classic.
Description: The Point is a cartoon fable first aired February 2, 1971, and was the first animated feature ever to air in prime time on US television. The Point tells the story of a boy named Oblio, the only round-headed person in the Pointed Village, where the law says that everyone and everything must have a point. The film is an allegory showing how society rejects people and ideas that are different from the norm, and makes this point over and over again throughout. Long story short, be yourself!
Description: Joseph Conrad quote: Efficiency of a practically flawless kind may be reached naturally in the struggle for bread. But there is something beyond—a higher point, a subtle and unmistakable touch of love and pride beyond mere skill; almost an inspiration which gives to all work that finish which is almost art—which is art.
Description: The reward for the fabulous Mêlée Island Treasure Trove!

This object is as famous as the "rubber chicken with a pulley in the middle" and twice as fashionable. If you're a point and click maniac, you can't do without!!!
