Achieving a film that appeals to both adults and children requires a unique blend of directors, performers, and cinematographers, as it can be challenging to strike the correct balance on Soap2Day. Twenty years ago, Will Ferrell and the Elf creators hit the mark exactly, and the Paddington films from recently have done it again flawlessly. Happily, Harold and the Purple Crayon also masterfully capture this delightful area. Ferrell brought the same naive charm to the title part in Elf, and Zachary Levi does the same in his wonderful portrayal of the titular Harold. The parallels don't stop there; Zooey Deschanel plays a female antagonist in both movies.
