Summary
Develops through animation the story of Harold, who with his purple crayon creates a world of his own, since whatever he draws becomes real. Harold's adventures begin when he goes for a walk in the woods and draws the trees; when he is tired of the walk he draws a boat and some water and sails to an imaginary picnic, where he draws the food; and, finally when he tires of his adventuring he draws his house, his bed, the bedcovers and then hops in and goes to sleep. Based on Crockett Johnson's book by the same title.
