The boy with the purple crayon and the big imagination is all grown up.
Zachary Levi brings Harold out of his picture book and into the real world in the first film adaptation of the children’s classic, “Harold and the Purple Crayon.”
Starring alongside Zooey Deschanel, the two show that anything is possible with the power of unlimited imagination and a magical crayon, but in the wrong hands chaos can ensue.
“When I saw the script, I loved the idea of Harold getting out of his comfort zone, going into the real world, and embarking on an adventure with innocence and wide-eyed naivete,” Levi said. “That quest for answers is a driving force for him.”
The film will feature a wide array of song selections with some childhood tunes like “Mary Had a Little Lamb” and “Chopsticks” and an original song, “Colors.”
The song, written, produced and performed by Jordy Searcy and Boots Ottestad, highlights the limitlessness of imagination and the fun it can bring: “If I believe it, I can see it.”
