Inside of his book, adventurous Harold (Zachary Levi) can make anything come to life simply by drawing it with the help of a magic purple crayon, such as his two friends Moose and Porcupine.
When Harold grows up, the narrator, whom he refers to as ‘old man’, mysteriously disappears one day. Harold decides to draw a door into the real world to go and look for him. Moose follows, with Porcupine getting left behind for a short while before being separated from the other two in the real world.
After he 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.
Harold and the Purple Crayon is screening at Palace Cinemas in Byron Bay this week.
