Everyone dreams of running away at least once in their lifetime. Three
brothers, 12-year-old Smarty (who has answers for all sorts of questions), 10-
year-old Toughy (who says he wants to be a soldier but turns pale at the
mention of blood and bones), and 7-year-old Mouse (who collects hats and likes
cheese), sail away to find Grasshopper Island which is perfect: sun, sand,
fruit in the trees and fish in the sea.
No winter woolies, no haircuts, no school dinners, no goodnight kisses, and
best of all, no grown ups. Or so they think. Then they discover Cornelius
Button, the grasshopper expert, who lives with his housekeeper, Lupus, on the
other side of the island.
There are other discoveries, too. Adventures, dangers and even a villain to
threaten their happiness. But in the end, Grasshopper Island remains a place
where they can all enjoy life in their own special way.

From the IMDb message boards:
What were the names of the boy actors in "Grasshopper Island?"
User hugh-mcguinness said
I actually asked the producer this question in 2010 and got an answer,
effectively what she said:
It was part of my agreement with the children that their
real names would not be publicised so that they would be
able to lead ordinary lives afterwards. And so it turned
out. None of them became actors but all work in the media
in different ways -- one as a television producer /
director; one as an entrepreneur; and one as a playwright.
They really were brothers and all have children of their
own, now! Best wishes, Joy Whitby.
