Harold and the Purple Crayon (2024)
Harold can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off his 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.
The first feature film adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s children’s classic, Harold and the Purple Crayon stars Critics Choice nominee and Teen Choice winner Zachary Levi (aka Shazam and Chuck, and the voice of Flynn Rider in Tangled).
MTV Movie Award winner Lil Rel Howery (Get Out) co-stars alongside Emmy nominees Zooey Deschanel (New Girl, and the voice of Bridget in the Trolls movies), Alfred Molina (Spider-Man’s Doc Ock and the voice of Agnarr in Frozen II), and Jemaine Clement (who voiced Moana’s Tamatoa), with Oscar-nominated Ice Age director Carlos Saldanha at the helm in his live-action/animation feature debut.
