Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

And there, where no twist surprises and where every character has their destiny clearly written, I can get lost. Unlike, for example, Wonka's chocolate factory, this realm has too defined boundaries that harm that magical search for secrets around the next corner. But Natalia's gaze of a wounded fairy adorned with a smile that stabs the heart is too heavy of a weapon, just like Hoffmann's innocent joy in every little thing. And against the final touching chaos, I prepared myself long in advance and still couldn't deflect those feelings. Let the cynics keep the doors closed. And those who still have a piece of a child inside them - they have long gone to play. (06/07/2008)

I avoided the film "Toy Story" for quite a long time just because it seemed very childish and maybe even crazy at first glance. However, upon further inspection, the film is something more. This is a family film that can truly appeal to the whole family. It is wonderfully imaginative and playful, just as a family film should be. Dustin Hoffman showed that he is not afraid of any character and can handle anything. His Magorium is appropriately eccentric, which is also emphasized by his diction. Natalie Portman is beautifully believable as always. The role suits her, just as it suits Jason Bateman, whom I would easily label as one of the kings of serious comedy. Essentially anything he is in reaches a high level, setting the bar quite high with his acting, at least in comparison to the average or below-average comedic genre of today. He doesn't appear in vulgar films by Judd Apatow, but good comedy doesn't have to be vulgar. "Toy Story" is a film that touches your soul, plays with your childish side, and does so in a pleasant way.
