Harold and the Purple Crayon is based on the book of the same name by Crockett Johnson. Inside his book, Harold(Zachary Levi) loves adventure and can make anything come to life, just by drawing it with his magical purple crayon. When he grows up, Harold draws a door to the real world. Harold realizes that he has much to learn about life.

Harold and the Purple Crayon is a good film. Director Carlos Saldanha has given us a fun, heartwarming & family-friendly movie, just like the Ice Age & Rio franchises. However, those franchises are far superior. This film is mainly aimed at kids & though adults will be moderately entertained, it isn't enough to hold our attention and interest, even through its short runtime. The animation is gorgeous. The visual effects are brilliant. Zachary Levi is perfect as Harold. However, Levi has been typecast ever since he played Shazam in Shazam!(2019) & Shazam! Fury of the Gods(2023). Zachary Levi's performance as Harold is exactly like his portrayal of the DC superhero. Lil Rel Howery is spectacular as Moose. Benjamin Bottani is awesome as Mel. Zooey Deschanel is fantastic as Terry. Tanya Reynolds is outstanding as Porcupine. Jemaine Clement is superb as Gary. The supporting cast is impressive. Harold and the Purple Crayon is not a must watch. However, it's worth a watch with your tiny tots and I guarantee you that they'll have a whale of a time!
