Zachary Levi’s ‘Harold and the Purple Crayon’ Kids Movie Trailer #2

"With this crayon nothing can stop me!" Except for Zachary Levi? Sony has revealed the second trailer for the Harold and the Purple Crayon movie, arriving in theaters in August this summer. Harold and the Purple Crayon is the first film adaptation of the beloved children’s classic book series by Crockett Johnson that has captivated young readers for decades. "This summer, enter a world where anything you draw comes to life." Inside of his book, adventurous Harold can make anything come to life simply by drawing it. After he grows up and draws himself off the book's pages and into the physical world, Harold discovers that he has a lot to learn about real life. Directed by Carlos Saldanha and produced by John Davis, the live-action hybrid family adventure-comedy stars Zachary Levi as Harold, Lil Rel Howery, Benjamin Bottani, Jemaine Clement, Tanya Reynolds, with Alfred Molina and Zooey Deschanel. This looks a bit too cheesy and ridiculous to actually work, but maybe kids will enjoy it? Or maybe not? What exactly is he going to draw with this crayon? From ...

The series cast includes David Threlfall, Daniel Ryan, Jo Hartley, Rowan Robinson, Barry Sloane, Natalie Gavin, Hubert Hanowicz, and Arian Nik. Such a funny name for a town - Chadder Vale.
