Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

ComedyFamilyFantasy93 min

Inside a toy store where the shelves move, the toys have minds of their own, and every corner seems alive, Mr. Magorium decides it is time to hand the shop over to his young manager. She knows how the store runs, but not how to believe in the strange magic that keeps it alive. As Mr. Magorium puts his affairs in order, the emporium itself begins to change, responding to her doubt and throwing the store into disarray. Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman anchor a story about a handoff that becomes a test of whether wonder can survive when the person in charge no longer trusts it.
