Find Some Magic in the Emporium

Are you one of those people who enjoys a good movie about magical things? Try watching Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, a beautiful funny film about living your dreams. This DVD is a fun-filled comedic adventure starring Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman. Dustin Hoffman stars as Mr. Magorium, the owner of the most amazing toy shop in the world because every toy comes to life in it. When Mr. Magorium decides to retire, the store doesn't like it and starts acting up and throwing a tantrum. Mr. Magorium's reluctant manager, played by Natalie Portman, can't decide if she wants to take over ownership of the shop once Mr. Magorium retires or pursue her dream career in music. Mr. Magorium hires an accountant, played by Jason Bateman, to get the store's affairs in order and with the help of each other, all of these characters work together to save the emporium by finding the magic within themselves. My favorite part of the movie is when the stuffy accountant finally lets down his guard and begins to act like a kid...it's a wonderful part of the film and a great inspiration for everyone to find the kid within themselves! This is a great film to share with your family, coupled with a visit to your favorite toy store :)
