Coming to a crayon box near you.
The Hero Of Color City is 2014 family comedy-adventure starring Christina Ricci, Wayne Brady, Owen Wilson, Craig Ferguson, Sean Astin, E.G. Daily and Rosie Perez.
When a group of crayons come to life, they have to go on an adventure to save their home and a child’s imagination when a monster threatens to steal all the colour.
Tropes
- Animate Inanimate Object: When Ben goes to sleep every night his crayons come to life.
- Colorful Song: "Color City", a rather catchy tune sung by Yellow as she cycles around the titular location.
- Lovable Coward: Yellow is a constant state of fear and panic, but she is also the nicest character in the movie.
- Not Evil, Just Misunderstood: The crayons believe King Scrawl is a monster trying to destroy their colors, it’s all just a misunderstanding, he was an unfinished drawing and only wanted to have color like other drawings.
- Took a Level in Badass: Over the course of the story Yellow learns to be brave and stand up for both herself and her friends.
- Translator Buddy: Gnat is King Scrawl’s Sidekick and speaks for him because Scrawl is incomplete and has no mouth. Until he is given one by the crayons.
