Name one movie where "animated character comes to the real world" has ever been a good movie.

A decent enough family movie. But it fails on many aspects... Major error was the casting. Almost everybody felt like a bad cast,especially the child. I hate the typical trope of a parent who doesn't believe their child in cases where literally everybody would also not believe the child.

“Harold and his magic pencil” is a story with a super creative premise: what would happen if what you draw became reality? Harold’s journey from the fictional world to the real one is full of moments that make you think and, at the same time, laugh at the absurd situations he faces. It has its magical moments, especially in how it explores the power of imagination and the importance of creativity, but it also takes its time to get going. Some parts feel a little predictable or perhaps too “light” for what could have been a great epic adventure, but it makes up for it with endearing characters and moments full of wit. Of course, the central theme about how to deal with what we create, whether on paper or in real life, is well resolved. It's a solid 7/10. It won't be the deepest story you read, but it will surely make you smile more than once and leave you thinking about how powerful imagination can be. Ideal if you are looking for something light, creative and with a touch of humor!

The purple crayon has been praised within my social circle as a "brilliant, one of a kind, family feel-good movie." An excellent testament to the value of imagination and never losing your youthful spirit. A heartfelt and genuine adventure with our quirky fun-loving 2d story book crew navigating the harshful staleness of the "real" world. The movie teaches that life can be anything we want it to be, that magic can be seen in ways we can only imagine, and that it only takes a new creative perspective to see what we might have missed - The things we felt when we were children and the things that we should remember as adults. Big or small, imaginary or real, a dream exists. Jump off the bandwagon and see this for yourself, a movie that has more layers than most colourless remakes out there.

Highlights from my 5 year old sons review for kidzcoolit.com:

🖍 Harold meets a magical old man and creates friends, including a moose and a porcupine.
🌍 He makes a portal to the real world in search of the old man.
💔 Harold’s dad, who passed away, is a key figure in his journey.

There's something about Zachary Levi that I quite like. Like in "Shazam" (2019), he has a boyish charm to him that is engaging to watch. In this, admittedly the story is all pretty thin, but his characterisation has a friendliness to it that I found quite enjoyable. "Harold" is the human manifestati More
