An absolute shame that this is what we're getting for a Purple Crayon movie.

Why is Harold white now, and where is Kumar?

I don't know why I was under the impression that Zachary Levi was playing the main adult in this and Harold was still a child but in reality, he's actually playing Harold? His career trajectory is quite something lol.

Wait how does it know what colour to make things and what detail to include? 
 

Lol I feel bad for parents sometimes, I couldn’t watch something like this.

All this time I had been hoping this would be a nice low-key kids movie, but all the delays make a lot more sense now.

 

I can only assume they got the idea based on the Dora theatrical feature, but this is definitely on the wrong side of the charming/creepy line.

Why didn't the animals just stay as animals lmao We have porcupines and moose.

Love how they gave epic, bombastic Avengers music to Harold and the Purple Crayon. Our movie culture is bizarre.

Looks like a contender for the worst movie of 2023. What an insane way to botch such a simple and wonderful idea. Would've loved to have lived in the universe where we got the Spike Jonze version of this (or had someone like Don Hetzfeldt make an animated version).

I'm gonna guess this purple crayon shit is one of those American things that never crossed over because I've certainly never heard of it. that adam sandler kids movie Bedtime Stories is what the trailer made me think of. I haven't seen Zooey Deschanel in years.

It was a children's book from the 1950s, was adapted into an HBO Family cartoon in the early 2000s

Way quieter vibes than this. I wouldn't say it was ever super popular but it had a certain casual appreciation.
