If your family loves reading about a certain little boy whose drawings come to life, they’ll love this family-friendly film. Sony Pictures Entertainment brings creativity and imagination to the big screen in the upcoming comedy adventure Harold and the Purple Crayon.

Inspired by Crockett Johnson’s illustrated children’s book, this movie follows a grown-up Harold who draws himself into the real world. Between hilarious hijinks and exciting adventures, the power of imagination falls into the wrong hands. Families can watch Harold in theaters to see if he and his friends can save both the real and fictional world. 

Fans of the beloved classic can once again see Harold make anything come to life with the help of his purple crayon. Kids (and those young at heart) can experience the wonders of imagination with Harold and the Purple Crayon, the first-ever film adaptation of the popular children’s book.

Families can watch Harold’s fun and wacky adventures in Harold and the Purple Crayon, exclusively in theaters this August.
