This encased bunny and many more very peculiar objects are found by Emma and Noah Wilder (Rhiannon Leigh Wryn and Chris O’Neil) while playing at their parents’ beach house outside Seattle. In this movie, which plays upon the same idea of peeking into another world, Mimzy is a proper noun-the name of a stuffed rabbit that washes ashore inside a very interesting container. He uses the term in a nonsense poem within his classic novel Through the Looking Glass (although he spells it mimsy). Just what the Wilder children are destined to do with their supernatural-seeming toys involves facilitating a wormhole for a weak Mimzy to travel through.A mimzy? If it rings a bell, then perhaps you’re a fan of Lewis Caroll.
When David and Jo finally believe (the kids act like they're under a G-rated possession), the FBI swoops in and places the whole family in a testing facility. Rainn Wilson (Dwight from The Office) co-stars as Noah's Zenned-out science teacher, Larry, who, along with his New Agey fiancée Naomi (Kathryn Hahn), applies understanding of Southeast Asian beliefs to convince the Wilders that their kids aren't just gifted: They're borderline superhuman. Some of his teachings include how to levitate, atomize her body parts, and thoroughly freak out her babysitter and parents - clueless overworked dad David ( Timothy Hutton) and understandably alarmed mom Jo ( Joely Richardson).
Emma (the doe-eyed Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) not only communes with Mimzy (the rabbit), but she learns from him and calls him her teacher.
Noah ( Chris O'Neil) accidentally causes a major power outage that, in the age of Homeland Security, is perceived as a terrorist attack. What child wouldn't want such a cool adventure? But with great, alien-like toys come great problems. Kids will like the premise of indie sci-fi movie THE LAST MIMZY: Ten-year-old Noah Wilder and his younger sister Emma discover a mysterious box off the shore of their beach house - inside are strange toys that make the kids telekinetic, hyper-intelligent, and able to communicate with an old stuffed rabbit.
