An imaginative animated tale for the pre-school/kindergarten set, The Hero of Color City chronicles the adventures of a diverse band of crayons that come alive in a little boys room when he drifts off to sleep. Yellow (voiced by Christina Ricci), a timid and fearful crayon, inadvertently awakens two unfinished drawings that threaten to take over Color City, and must set off on an adventure that leads her to discover inner strength and courage she never knew she had.
