My 6-year-old cried and cried when Wilson floated off on the sea in Castaway! He's a teen now, but loved getting this commemorative ball and laughed at the memory, no more tears. We played with it for a time, but wow is it hard! I felt like I had taken a beating after about thirty minutes: maybe poor Wilson could be a better kickball than volleyball? Still, a distinctive and fun gift for a Castaway fan.
