One of my very favorite movies created in the last few decades is "Hook" starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. They are brilliant in this flick.
When Peter is in Neverland, Thud (Raushan Hammond) hands him a bag of marbles and tells Peter that they belong to Tootles, a lost boy who left Neverland and forgot to take them with him. "These are his happy thoughts," Thud explains. The only Tootles (played by famous British actor Arthur Malet) that the adult Peter knows is an old man who appeared to have lost his mind, always wandering the rambling old English mansion searching for his marbles.
I think my favorite scene in the movie comes at the end when Peter returns from Neverland back to the real world and gives the marbles back to the now elderly "lost boy." The hope and excitement is tangible - and contagious!
The message is clear.
