To fix her problem, Mahoney intends to quit being the manager of the toy store to fully concentrate on music. Later on, Mr Magorium asks her what she did with the cube. Mahoney is in fact represented by the cube. She knows that she is a block of wood, and that blocks of wood can be made into something, yet she thinks that she is only a block of wood.
She is aware of her limitless potential, yet limited by her limiting beliefs. Many of us are like Mahoney. We are aware of our own potential and limited by our limiting beliefs. Rather than focusing on our presuppositions of our potential, what we need is an opportunity to correct our presuppositions about our potential and discover the reality of what lies within us. So how should we discover our potential? It is simple: we need to challenge ourselves with the unknown.
Concentrate on something that will stretch your limits, something new. After the funeral, the store is completely empty pf people and everything in it is dark gray color. All the life and magic has disappeared. Molly gives up on running the store. She puts it up for sale. Eric tries to buy the store with his allowance and tells the accountant Weston it is his duty to tell Molly of his offer.
Weston goes to see Molly and finds her in the store. Molly shows the store to another potential buyer. After the potential buyer leaves, Molly tells Weston the store was magic and when she says this the wooden cube spins.
Weston see this and for the first time he believes the magic is real. Molly makes the cube spin and fly around the room.
This causes Weston to faint from the shock. The next day Molly wakes Weston up. He remembers the flying cube and the magic. Molly tells Weston it was only a dream, he must have fallen asleep while working late at night and she is ready to sign the papers to sell the store. He convinces Molly all she has to do is believe in herself. Molly suddenly, in her imagination, hears the perfect ending she has long sought to write for her musical composition.
She plays the tune in her mind and her fingers mimic the playing on the piano. A piano in the store starts to play the tune along with her. In a moment of triumph, Molly conducts an orchestrated version of the tune and the entire store bursts into colorful life, once again filled with magical toys and with the laughter and excitement of children.
Best part of story, including ending: Mr. Magorium acts as if his magic is the most normal thing. For example, keeping a zebra as a pet seems very regular to him. This makes his fantasy toy world all the more interesting. Best scene in story: I like the scene when Molly believes in her magic. It is a wonderful moment, when the store comes back to life and bursts into color after being so deary, dead, and gray.
Opinion about the main character: Molly has a crisis by having low self-esteem, which makes her questions her own wonderful creative abilities. It is nice to see her overcome her doubts and be able to master her world in the end. Everything clicks together here, from the performances even young Mills is refreshingly uncloying to the dazzling visuals to the sprightly score by Alexandre Desplat and Aaron Zigman. Heck, even the opening and closing credits are charming and fun to watch.
