Our take

Fred Wolf’s cult animation—created and scored by the pioneering musician Harry Nilsson, whose song “Me and My Arrow” is a classic—is family film for all of us, kids and weirdos alike. It carries a genuine message through a beguiling—and very ’70s—style that is at once strange and utterly delightful.
