Once, there was a boy named Harold. With his Purple Crayon, anything he drew came to life. Come on, everybody. As he got bigger, so did his imagination.

[00:00:11]

Let's go to the real world. It's so beautiful.

[00:00:18]

In the movie, how we're going to draw anything with this purple crayon and it turns into reality. What would you do if you had that magic power?

[00:00:26]

Well, excellent question. I mean, obviously, there's a lot of fun things that I could draw, like hoverboards and planes and boats and things like that. But honestly, I feel like the way the world is right now, I would want to draw things like unity and peace and love and empathy because we need a lot of that.

Each character is special and unique in their own way. Which character do you relate to the most?

[00:00:53]

I think I probably related the most to Harold. He's from a world, his world, that doesn't really have anger or fear or sadness a lot. It's like everything is just really good. And so he's got just this really pure heart and way of approaching the world. And so I hope I'm a lot like that. I try to be like that.

[00:01:16]

Come on, Harold can do magic.

[00:01:19]

With this little guy, I can make whatever I want. You try. That's Spider-Claw. Now, that is creative and terrifying.

[00:01:30]

The cinema world has had a tough time recently with taking those big feelings down. How important are fantasy and family movies like Harold and the Purple Crayon?

[00:01:39]

I think they're very important. I think that going to a movie at the theater with a bunch of strangers is really good for us. I think it's a reminder that we're not so different after all. Even though we all have a lot of differences, it's a reminder that you're not alone and that your neighbors that might be strangers are closer to you than you think they are.

[00:02:02]

What do you think is the main moral of the story?

[00:02:05]

To believe in yourself and to allow yourself to continue to create and be imaginative. Okay, I am just really good at this. Oh, no, honestly, I don't do a lot of thinking.
