Zachary Levi as Harold drawing a circle with his purple crayon.

The Big Picture As the history of fiction, film, and television would have you believe, imagination is quite possibly the greatest power in the universe. Necessity may be the mother of invention, but imagination is its father. Many world religions posit omnipotent beings of vast power who can do great feats with nothing more than a thought.

Release Date August 2, 2024 Director Carlos Saldanha Cast Zachary Levi , Zooey Deschanel , Lil Rel Howery , Ravi Patel , Camille Guaty , Tanya Reynolds , Pete Gardner Main Genre Adventure Writers David Guion , Michael Handelman What is 'Harold and the Purple Crayon' About? Harold technically grew up in the world the Old Man created, channeling his imagination through the purple crayon to provide anything his heart conceives and desires, but in a way, he didn’t grow up at all.

'Harold' is a Conceptually-Interesting but Muddled Meta-Movie Close The leads in Harold and the Purple Crayon are, overall, well cast. Zachary Levi continues to cement his tradition of playing naive, childlike characters in grown men's bodies, but it largely works in the portrayal of a man in ignorance of the realities of our world.

1 Of course, these aren't the only questions that Harold provokes and leaves unanswered. When Harold and friends enter our world, Harold enters as a grown human man in pajamas, but Moose and Porcupine are turned into humans in normal human clothes. Why? It's not because weird animals can't exist in our world--once here, the crayon creates both otherworldly oddities and photo-realistic animals alike, so the change isn't necessary.
