Based on the true story of A.C. Gilbert, a toy maker, during WWI.
A.C. Gilbert (Jason Alexander), a toy maker, who is determined to continue making toys during WWI after the Government summoned him to use his factory for the war effort. He lobbies the Government to allow toys to continue to be made. His appeal to them was that children need to have hope and to play with things that will enhance their learning abilities. BTW, A.C. Gilbert is the inventor of the Erector Set.
From what I understand,a number of the details in the movie are not accurate, but the gist of the story is what makes this movie more than just another Christmas flick. It's about hope.
The hope referred to in this movie emerges from the period of WWI; however, hope embraces all generations, especially at Christmastime. Hope brings us happiness.
Just as back in WWI in 1918, we, as parents and grandparents, have an obligation to encourage our children and grandchildren to thrive and learn with hope, which is expectation, and with faith, which is trust.
Hebrews 11:1 (NIV)
Now faith is the confidence in what we hope for and the assurance about what we do not see"
