I love the Point. It is one of the msot brilliant cartoons of all time. At times a bit slow-moving, but Nilsson's soundtrack is incredible, and so is the storyline and animation.
Hate to say it, but there is a "Puff the Magic Dragon"-type interpretation to this: "Taking the high road" is a clue, along with the "arrow" that is "straighter than narrow"--a reference to a needle.
Still a great, and incredibly catchy, song.
