Nice Hat/Theatre


 * Cirque Du Soleil loves nice hats for its characters, ranging from bowlers to crowns to baseball caps to miscellaneous eccentric headpieces. The following specific examples are hats that also have special powers.
 * The blue top hat in Le Cirque Reinvente and its partial remake Fascination turns an "Ordinary Person" into a whimsical ringmaster; at the show's end he's changed back by removing it.
 * The blue bowler left behind by the title character in the opening scene of Quidam transports the Troubled Child Zoe to a Magical Land when she puts it on.
 * When The Everyman hero of the IMAX short Journey of Man loses his familiar black bowler as a young man, a Satan analogue gives him a golden one that winds up granting him a fortune, knowledge, and power... but not true happiness, as he becomes an isolated middle-aged man. Once he realizes what he's lost and decides to reconnect with other people, he tosses it away for his old hat, found by a Vagabond Girl...
 * In the final episode of the made-for-TV Widget Series Solstrom, the top hat worn by the doorman of the Coolest Club Ever
 * In Man of La Mancha, Don Quixote mistakes a barber's shaving basin for the Golden Helmet of Mambrino. Hilarity Ensues.
 * In The Golden Apple, Lovey Mars and Mrs. Juniper start a conversation by commenting on the magnificent hats they and Miss Minerva are wearing to the church social.
