   Aug 1, 2024 · Harold and the Purple Crayon. As someone who venerates Harold and the Purple Crayon, Crockett Johnson ’s 1955 hymn to the power of imagination (I gift every love one’s new baby with a copy of the book with a purple crayon taped inside), the idea of a film adaptation has always filled me with a certain sense of trepidation.

   Stop sniggering, it’s not aimed at you, and it could just rescue an empty afternoon during the school holidays. Despite being directed by Carlos Saldanha, the Brazilian who made Rio and several Ice Age films, produced by a big studio in Columbia Pictures and featuring a fair amount of CGI, it feels like quite a modest and old-fashioned movie.

   Aug 2, 2024 · Harold And The Purple Crayon is charming, and in sufficient quantities that I feel it will be remembered by its target audience with genuine fondness. The book upon which it is based was first published in 1955, it's been adapted as a cartoon before, but as cynical as bringing a 70 year old work to the screen for seven-year-olds might seem it does work.

When a visionary director like Spike Jonze was attached to a live-action screen adaptation of Crockett Johnson’s volume, the movie did sound more promising than threatening. (Jonze later left the project.)

   What is Harold's Purple Crayon?

   • This wonder will arrive through a tool of “pure imagination” (they really say that!). That is, Harold’s purple crayon, whose concoctions add some not-insubstantial visual interest to the proceedings. One scene in a department store, in which an actual puma and a too-functional kid’s helicopter ride contribute some anarchic slapstick, is a keeper.

   Aug 8, 2024 · The new Harold movie actually acknowledges this fact when, in its opening few minutes, it offers an animated summary of Harold and the Purple Crayon, announces “The End,” and then says “Just kidding.” The film then changes the animation style, and a purportedly adult Harold launches himself from Crockett Johnson’s book into the real world in search of the narrator—voiced by Alfred ...
