Theme and Tone

The theme of the story is anything is possible. This is the theme because throughout the story there are many forms of it. For instance, Hugo getting the automaton fixed and Georges Melies because he enabled himself to reconnect with his past. The tone is saddening then shifts to cheerful at the very end. It is sad because you learn of Hugo's story and what happens to him but then turns to cheerful because he has found a new family to belong to.
