Description:Harold (Zachary Levi) uses his purple crayon to draw a doorway into the real world so he can look for his "father," Crockett Johnson. His friends Moose and Porcupine follow him and are transformed into humans. They meet Terry (Zooey Deschanel) and her son Mel. While Terry is kind, she's mostly concerned that Mel keeps getting in trouble because of Harold, who causes chaos wherever he goes. He talks to librarian, Gary, about finding Johnson. Gary is obsessed with a world he's created in a novel nobody wants to read. He gets hold of part of the crayon and begins to turn the real world into his fantasy world. But with help from his friends, Harold draws a doorway into Gary's world so he can live there. Harold draws a door back into his book world, and he and his friends return.
My Rating:6

Review - Harold and the Purple Crayon

Thanks mostly to Levi, who attacks this with the same childlike enthusiasm he brings to all his work, it isn't as silly and sappy as it could be. But still you need to remember it's a movie for kids.
