Mr. Magorium (Dustin Hoffman) owns and runs the most magical store in the universe, where all of the toys for sale are alive. But, when the aging shopkeeper decides to retire and sell the business to his faithful cashier (Natalie Portman), he hires an uptight accountant (Jason Bateman) to get his affairs in order. ...more

Enter a world of enchantment when Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium opens its doors on DVD and Blu-ray Disc (BD) March 4th from Fox Home Entertainment. M&C is giving away four copies of the DVD!

Written and directed by Zach Helm (Stranger Than Fiction), the fantastical tale features an all-star cast including Academy Award-winner Dustin Hoffman (Meet The Fockers) and Golden Globe-winners Natalie Portman (Closer) and Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”) in an engaging and unusual story about the strangest, yet most wonderful toy store in the world. 

For centuries the eccentric 243-year-old Mr. Magorium (Hoffman) has owned and operated the incredible store, but when he announces that he will be handing over the reigns to his reluctant young manager Molly (Portman), the store throws a tantrum turning everything extraordinary to just plain ordinary.  In order to restore order to this whimsical store, Molly must learn not only to believe in her abilities, but also to find the magic within.
