Good songs ("Me and My Arrow" repeats in my brain), sketchy stylized animation, and lots of characters without a point. A nice movie for children-of-hippies to sit down and enjoy.

Definitely shows it age, but if you get caught up in this then you're missing "the point". I wouldn't say this is necessarily on the same level as Pixar for family movies, but my daughter certainly enjoyed it for its entertainment value, while I appreciated the soundtrack and theme.
