The Last Mimzy (DVD)

Yes, the “Mimzy” does relate indirectly to Lewis Carroll’s famous poem, ”Jabberwocky”, and goes to prove that one can make a pretty darn good children’s picture without a Steven Spielberg-sized budget.


This is a story within a story. Noah and Emma Wilder (Chris O’Neil and Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) are on holiday at the seaside with their mother (Joley Richardson.) In the surf, they discover a box containing some strange toys. These include a stuffed rabbit that Emma calls “Mimzy,” and that she later claims can talk to her. These toys change the children’s entire lifestyle – so much so that Noah’s science teacher, Larry White (Rainn Wilson) comes to rate him as a genius! Mr White’s fiancée, Katherine, (Naomi Sscwartz) is also most intrigued that Noah can draw an intricate pattern known as a mandala, without his having any idea of what it is.


When Noah accidentally assembles some components and builds a generator that causes a blackout right across Seattle, the FBI step in – and the plot begins to develop an ET kind of formula.


Stay with the pace for the ending. It’s more subtle than you think!

Sci-fi drama about two children who develop strange powers after playing with some discarded toys. On a beach vacation near Seattle, Noah (Chris O'Neil) and Emma (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) Wilder find a little box washed up on the shore. It contains a strange, pulsing stone and the pair deign to keep it a secret, sensing its unusual nature. Further examination reveals a collection of items in the box including what appears to be a toy rabbit whose name turns out to be Mimzy and who is perfectly able to communicate with the children. Mimzy starts to instruct the children on many things that they're not familiar with, resulting in the pair attaining genius level very quickly, much to their parents' chagrin. It soon becomes apparent that there are forces abroad in the Wilder house that should have been left undisturbed - and that the future may be trying to send a message back to us in order that we might save our planet from a certain doom. After a huge power surge, originating in the Wilder home, takes out half the state power grid, the government begins to take an interest in the children.
