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.
