Welcome to Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. It's a tantalizing toy haven in which everything inside literally comes to life - including the store itself - and where marvels of every imaginable, possible kind, and beyond, never cease... that is, until now.
When Mr. Magorium, the store's extraordinary 243 year-old proprietor (Dustin Hoffman), announces that he will at long last hand over the reigns of his wonder-expanding store to his unconfident young manager, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman), the store decides to throw an unusual tantrum.
As a skeptical accountant named Henry (Jason Bateman) comes in to audit the Legos and Lincoln Logs, not to mention the Whodathoughts and Whatchamacallits, the once sparkling, color-saturated Emporium is suddenly embattled by mysterious changes.
In the vividly fantastical world of “Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium,” imagination rules and just about anything you can think might be fun can happen... and does. In this enchantingly alive toy-store, balls bounce themselves, Slinkies go far beyond slinking, schools of fish fly through the air, stuffed animals hug back and good homework is instantly morphed into grand rewards - and the customers have the wide-open minds to have a blast with it.
