What happens

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a 2007 family fantasy comedy film written and directed by Zach Helm (in his directorial debut), produced by FilmColony, Mandate Pictures, Walden Media, Richard N. Gladstein and James Garavente, and with music composed by Alexandre Desplat and Aaron Zigman. The film stars Dustin Hoffman as the owner of a magical toy store and Natalie Portman as his store employee. A cameo by Kermit the Frog was the character's first major theatrical appearance since 1999's Muppets from Space. Theatrically released on November 16, 2007 by 20th Century Fox, it received mixed reviews and was unsuccessful at the box office, grossing $69.5 million worldwide. Helm subsequently disowned the film in later years. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
