About this episode
Harold and the Purple Crayon is a lovely, enduring children's classic (if you've never encountered it, have Steve Buscemi read it to you!) -- did Hollywood treat it with gentleness and respect, when they decided to use it as the jumping-off point for the movie "Harold and the Purple Crayon?" The answer may not surprise you!
