Harold and the Purple Crayon (2001)

Trivia

Harold and the Purple Crayon

Edit
This was one of the first co0944611 TV series to be made in a 1.78:1 (16:9) aspect ratio, the native aspect ratio for high-definition. It was also one of the first Home Box Office (HBO) TV series to be done in that ratio, and the first HBO Family series to do so.
In 2014 after the closure of Adelaide Productions, the rights are now held by Sony Pictures Television - Kids.
The two VHS tapes, "New Worlds to Explore!" and "Let Your Imagination Soar!", are both presented entirely in the show's native 1.78:1 aspect ratio, but instead of being letterboxed with black bars at the top and bottom, the image was squeezed to fill a 4:3 (1.33:1) TV frame for the entire program, meaning a 16:9 (1.78:1) widescreen TV set to "16:9 Stretched" was required to unsqueeze the image to its original proportions. Some capture devices have the ability to record 16:9 widescreen videos, meaning that setting the recording AR to "16:9 Widescreen" will unsqueeze the image to the correct proportions when viewing the video.
Connor Matheus is an 8 year old playing a 4 year old, although his character's age isn't mentioned in the series, just in summaries.
