Why so many versions?

February 2, 1971
The animated special based on the Harry Nilsson album, The Point!, originally voiced by Dustin Hoffman, Paul Frees, June Foray, and Mike Lookinland premiered as an ABC Movie of the Week, on this date.

Although that version was only licensed for the initial airing, a few different narrations followed, including Alan Thicke and Ringo Starr. The one posted above is a restored version with Duffin Hoffman’s narrative treatment.
