Synopsis
Inside of his book, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book’s pages and into the physical world, Harold finds he has a lot to learn about real life—and that his trusty purple crayon may set off more hilarious hijinks than he thought possible. When the power of unlimited imagination falls into the wrong hands, it will take all of Harold and his friends’ creativity to save both the real world and his own. Harold and the Purple Crayon is the first film adaptation of the beloved children’s classic that has captivated young readers for decades.

he should’ve drawn a rose toy
ram<3Jul 31, 2024It’s very easy to understand why kids might love a picture book about a curious four-year-old whose purple crayon gives him the power to create anything he can think to draw. On the other hand, it’s virtually impossible to understand why kids might enjoy a meta, live-action…

Innocent & fun enough for a toddler or young kid to enjoy.
Cris ParkerAug 31, 2024Finally! A movie where an adult man with the mind of a child from a magical land ventures into our ordinary world to find his dad and meets Zooey Deschanel, a woman who lost her sense of wonder and as a result no longer expresses herself musically but after she spends time…

Obvi I’m not the intended audience but I thought it was a fun movie. It’s odd how many adults are shitting on this, have you considered it’s not for your age group? it’s for kids! Lmao. I do think it’s odd how Zachary Levi is always playing a man child tho💀😭
Absolutely loved it. Yes it’s a kids movie. But it’s a good kids movie. Especially if you liked the book.

Now this is what you call a great kids movie. It's the unofficial sequel to Enchanted that I needed
Fun since it made me think of my childhood show (chalk zone) but the mc’s actor feels out of place he looks way too old for this idk

Make another movie and leave a cliffhanger make Harold and Melvin’s mom get together
Both of my son’s ages, 9 and 12, said it was the best movie ever created. I have to agree. It is definitely a good movie. The entire audience clapped in the end. Great family movie. Highly recommend it.
Metacritic
Since Levi is the single-use plastic of screen performers – flat, shiny, desperately unfashionable – it’s left to Jemaine Clement to provide the story’s charismatic core as Gary, the villainous failed fantasy novelist with a thing for Mel’s mum.
It is a somewhat decent movie hampered by so many preventable oversights and missteps.
“Random” aptly summarizes Harold and the Purple Crayon, with its patchy subplots, distracting amount of dialogue added after filming was wrapped, and geographic cluelessness.
