Harold and the Purple Crayon
Harold and the Purple Crayon
Inside of his book, adventurous Harold 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.

So many decisions I don’t understand. Why make Harold a boy in an adult body? Why change the moose and porcupine into humans? Why bring the story into live action at all? The books seem perfectly suited for an animated adaptation. So many more questions….perhaps the biggest being, Why is there a post credits scene? 💀💀
Probably fine for super young kids—but as my kids are almost all teenagers now and they won’t even bother to watch these with me anymore—this is pretty hard to sit through.
