Harold And The Purple Crayon

Zachary Levi proved he could capably play a man-child in the Shazam! films and he’s back in that mode for his new film, Harold and the Purple Crayon.

This fantasy comedy is based on Crockett Johnson’s children’s picture books of the same name, which followed a young boy who could bring anything to life by drawing it with his magic purple crayon.

The film begins in the classic 2D hand-drawn world of the picture books. Once their narrator disappears, Harold creates a door to the “real world” and walks through it with his animal friend Moose – and they find themselves in the live-action world of Providence, Rhode Island.

Harold is a youngster trapped in a grown-up man’s body (Levi) and Moose looks like a human (Lil Rel Howery).

Not knowing how to navigate the real world, Harold and Moose become desperate to find their creator and hear his advice.
