Summary The 1970s was a fascinating era in the history of cinema that included some of the most outrageous and underrated fantasy movies ever made. This was a time before computer-generated imagery had taken over, and the special effects needed for live-action fantasy were done through the use of practical effects or a stop-motion style.
The Golden Voyage of Sinbad was a box office hit and even won the first Saturn Award for Best Fantasy Film. Despite memorable performances, a distinctive style, and an exciting story filled with magic and villains, this Gordon Hessler-directed feature has not achieved the same level of mainstream recognition as other major fantasy films of the 1970s and has been underrated by modern viewers.

The Point was an enjoyable fairy-tale story that was packed with incredible music from Nilsson and featured Dustin Hoffman as the narrator in its first telecast before he was replaced by Ringo Starr for the home video release. The message of The Point related to self-acceptance, as the story encouraged children not to reshape themselves to fit into a pre-established system and to embrace their unique nature.
