Has anyone seen it? I saw it a long time ago and recently looked it up on youtube...if you aren't familier with it:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjfKteUBa_s[/youtube]

It doesn't start quite at the very beginning but I don't know it is an intresting movie and I feel people should watch it.

I saw it on ABC TV when I was in the 4th grade, back in 1971. it is a classic, and it is in my movie library.

I will have to look for it, though maybe I will just get a VHS of it, so I can be all vintage and what not. I have fight club on VhS and a bunch of others. I even have a few cassette tapes and vinyls. Or maybe VHS and DVD.

I saw it when it first ran on TV when I was a kid, too. I seriously don't remember much of the cartoon, but I do recall the kid and the dog, and I recall the song. :)

did you know that ringo starr was the narrator? and mike lookingland [brady bunch] was the voice of oblio? I remember back in the day that it was refreshingly non-conformist. :mrgreen:

I vaguely remember Ringo Starr being associated with it, though I had since forgotten him being the narrator. Pretty cool. 8)

Not sure it had sound on my computer...did you try restarting your internet or computer.. Sometimes sound does not work on things I play and I just have to restart my computer for it to work. not sure if yours does the same thing.

I have one of those VHS/DVD combo players, though not hooked up yet to my tv. Made sure to keep when my parents replaced the tv in the other room so I could watch all the VHS's we have that my brother and I used to watch when we were kids.
