I have this memory of a sci-fi movie that I watched as a kid, but I'm not sure if it's a real memory or something I invented. All I remember is the ending. I think it was made for children, and the leads were a brother and sister I think, with the boy having dark hair and the girl having light hair (maybe), and they were lost in space or in an alternate dimension or something. They were accompanied by a man and woman who were like parental figures to them, but I don't know if they were in fact their parents or just a couple they met somehow who acted as surrogate parents. At some point in the plot they encountered a benevolent race of aliens who were advanced and peaceful, like the Space Elves or Angelic Aliens trope. These aliens helped save the humans from whatever danger they were in. At the end when the humans were being sent back to Earth or wherever, (this is the most vivid part I remember) the aliens offer the chance to let the boy stay behind and join their society because he's special for some reason, maybe a telepath or empath or something, or just smart and shy and fit in with them better. The parental figures ask him if he wants to stay with the aliens or come with them, and he decides to stay with the aliens. Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I am not even sure if it was a movie or TV show or book, but I am certain I have seen some piece of media that has an ending like that.
