Fun Fact: Although the film uses a lot of CGI, some scenes where Harold draws in mid-air were filmed using a real sheet of glass placed between Zachary Levi and the camera, making the effect look more natural.

Moral Lesson: It shows us the importance of using creativity and innovation to face challenges in life. Harold’s drawings are not just for beauty but a way to hold on to his identity and dignity.

Moral lesson: The movie shows how gossip can deeply wound people and keep old pain alive, even when it seems like the past is behind them. It reminds us that words have power, and spreading rumors can trap others in unfair labels, making it harder for them to heal, grow, or trust again. Real change begins with understanding and kindness, not judgment.

Fun Fact: The movie took five years to make, mostly due to financial reasons. And also, that one scene in the movie the production crew made sure Abigail Breslin really was listening to music in her headphones to keep her from hearing Alan Arkin's profanity-laced scenes.

Moral Lesson: The story reminds us to embrace life’s imperfections, to find strength in our family, and to accept ourselves as we are. It shows that loving and ing each other matters more than chasing perfect dreams, and that there’s real beauty in simply being there for one another.
