Harold and the Purple Crayon Ratings & Reviews
- JkrilinNovember 27, 2024“Harold and his magic pencil” is a story with a super creative premise: what would happen if what you draw became reality? Harold’s journey from the fictional world to the real one is full of moments that make you think and, at the same time, laugh at the absurd situations he faces. It has its magical moments, especially in how it explores the power of imagination and the importance of creativity, but it also takes its time to get going. Some parts feel a little predictable or perhaps too “light” for what could have been a great epic adventure, but it makes up for it with endearing characters and moments full of wit. Of course, the central theme about how to deal with what we create, whether on paper or in real life, is well resolved. It's a solid 7/10. It won't be the deepest story you read, but it will surely make you smile more than once and leave you thinking about how powerful imagination can be. Ideal if you are looking for something light, creative and with a touch of humor!

- 匚卂尺ㄥMarch 6, 2025I enjoyed reading the children's book by Crockett Johnson today before watching the movie Harold and the Purple Crayon (August 2, 2024) today in theaters on August 3, 2024. I have enjoyed how Harold, Moose & Porcupine came into the real world because they thought they wanted to actually find Crockett Johnson which he was calling him, Old Man. I think calling somebody an Old Man is really rude. I still liked how he made everything come to life by drawing something with the purple crayon and I just also could imagine what would it be like to make things come to life with the purple crayon. I remember the funny part when he made the helicopter fly through the store and made a bad damage and police were investigating the accident. The real world is not like Harold's world like the book. He was thinking about fun things and stuff. I like this movie and I am going to hope to see it again on another year, and I will hope to keep reading the book, Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson as often as I want.
