Deciding to go out on his own terms, he hires assassins to kill him. Things get complicated when the hitmen he hires also target his ex-girlfriend.

The movie follows a boy named Harold who can draw anything he wants with his purple crayon inside his own book, making anything possible. Harold draws friends named Moose and Porcupine, and they become best friends. One day, Harold wonders who drew him, since they all live in a 2D world. A narrator's voice explains that he drew Harold and he lives in a 3D world. When the narrator's voice disappears, Harold decides to explore the real world and find out what happened to his creator.  REVIEW When Harold enters the real world, he turns into a human, and his friends follow him and they transform too. Zachary Levi plays Harold, and his performance is similar to his previous role as Shazam—he’s a grown man but a child spirit inside. Since they are from a children’s book, they know very little about how the real world works. Their charming performances are enjoyable. They soon reali...
