Words Chloe Howard

Though perhaps better known across the pond, Crockett Johnson’s Harold And The Purple Crayon has captivated generations of young readers. Now, almost seventy years after its creation, this beloved, bestselling bedtime favourite comes to the big screen as a live-action/animation adaptation.

Follow Harold off the pages of his book as he uses his magical purple crayon to draw himself into the real world. Played by Shazam star Zachary Levi, the fun-loving Harold enters the human world and sets off on an adventure where, thanks to his trusty crayon, anything is possible.

Get ready for an entertaining, hilarious, and even dangerous ride full of impossible creations as anything Harold draws comes to life. A new skateboard, funny-looking monsters, and even propellors for a supermarket helicopter ride so it can fly for real, Harold’s crayon is made of pure imagination.

But what if this power winds up in the wrong hands?

Helped by friends old and new – played by the familiar faces of Lil Rel Howery, Zooey Deschanel, Jemaine Clement, and Benjamin Bottani – Harold must push the possibilities of his imagination further than ever to save both the real world and his own.

Let the whole family’s imagination run wild with a fantasy adventure that brings a little magic to an ordinary world.
