Perception is everything in this world. The story of Mr. Magorium is partly one of the archetypal American legend who inspired a generation to carry on dreaming. It is significant that Kermit makes an appearance in the film as Jim Henson was one such figure who may well, have inspired the films philosophy. Few men of his generation were so influential to the children of the world and these men like Magorium set an example not by what they said so much but by what they did with their lives. Inspiration reverberates for generations and the wisdom which comes from that inspiration will hopefully always lead us towards the lights until ultimately we have a legacy like Magorium's to pass on. This idea of finding faith in past childhood wisdom in order to regain direction in ones life is largely the journey Molly Mahoney must grasp in the film until she understands the strength of her perception and how she can do some good in this world.
This film was an unexpected highlight over the holiday period. My whole family enjoyed it and will be one for the collection when it finally comes out. The cast performances, as you might expect are a class act and the story was very heartening. I strongly recommend this film and I'd say, pay no attention to superficial comparisons to the Wonka movie!

Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium - where Toys come to life! I began to watch this DVD with great scepticism and little hope that it would be enjoyable, bar to children but was pleasantly surprised from the outset - well apart from the long drawn-out animated title sequence!
The story line went well, and Dustin Hoffman roll as Mr Magorium was played well. In some respects, the acting reminded me of Dustin in Rain Man. The animation was clever and the small cast worked well together.
An Enjoyable Family Movie

Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman combine to make an entirely underrated fantasy - comedy film. Put aside your cynicism and watch this film with a child's heart and you will find a great film full of wonder.

Believe it not :), a magical film
Maybe it's a baby boomer thing, with us back to searching for what life is *really* all about, but both my wife and I (I'm 56) were really moved by this film. Read more
