Mr. Magorium is a masterpiece of postmodern occultism. The entire show exists to express the concepts of worship, power, corruption, and the story of magorium himself, a displaced god from the Hajj.
if you watch this movie, and actually pay attention, these themes are so painfully obviosu
the transitions are the key
when we observe the movment of the box across the map, we see it travel out from mecca before eventually reaching new york
Even more, he takes a jab at the god who now occupies his cube
a book he borrowed from the king of planet Yahweh, who isnt really the king.
saying he isnt the only force out there.
the toy store is a temple
juicing children of belief and worship
a masterful creation of a god
who eventually renounces they constraints of a physical form (which while resilient is limiting to his power)
and rises to his true ascended form, with a loyal priest and priestess to run his grand temple
the show grapples with concepts like what is a temple? what is a god? would we know a god if we saw one face to face?
while quipping at modern religions all the while
all packaged up into a children’s movie of all things
i urge you all to re-watch it with this lens, and see the masterpiece it really is.
