Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium -- When Mr. Magorium (Hoffman), the proprietor of a magical toy store where all the toys are alive, announces that he will at long last hand over the reigns of his empire to his faithful cashier (Portman), the store decides to throw an unusual tantrum.

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! But 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 magical toy store to his unconfident young manager, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman), the store decides to throw an unusual tantrum. Matters get worse when a skeptical accountant named Henry (Jason Bateman) comes in to audit the store. The once sparkling, color-saturated Emporium is suddenly embattled by mysterious changes. The playful toys are all still there, but they’ve turned gray and quiet – and only Mahoney and Henry can revive them if, with the help of a dexterous 9 year-old (Zach Mills), they can find the source of magic inside themselves.
