Do you remember the traditional Chinese story “The Magic Brush of Ma Liang”? Here is a similar story. The movie *Harold and the Purple Crayon* hit theaters in August in the US. It was adapted from a famous children's book by Crockett Johnson. What is the movie about? Let's have a look!
Harold lives inside of a book. He has a magic purple crayon. And he can make anything come to life just by drawing it with his purple crayon. If he draws the moon, it shines just like the real moon. If he draws a hot air balloon(热气球), it can fly away.
After he grows up, he draws himself off the book's pages and into the real world. Harold finds he has a lot to learn about real life. Together with his friends Moose and Porcupine, Harold gets help from a good family. He returns their kindness by drawing useful things to make them happy. He also shares his purple crayon with a boy named Mel. And Mel finds it helpful.
But the crayon falls into the wrong hands. Harold must work with his friends to save both the real world and his own. Can they make it? *Harold and the Purple Crayon* is funny and exciting. It is perfect for a family movie night.
