Originally, the transferral (from an unspecified date millions of years in the future) occurs by accident. The central idea of "toys" sent from the future to the present, and of the toys' alteration of the children's thought patterns remains, but with many differences. The Last Mimzy is loosely based upon " Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett (the pen name of collaborators Henry Kuttner and C. Well-known string theorist Brian Greene has a cameo appearance as an Intel scientist. Mackenzie Hamilton and Calum Worthy cameo as Teenage cyborgs. Irene Snow as Lena, the story's narrator.Patrick Gilmore as FBI Task Force Agent.Michael Clarke Duncan as FBI Special Agent Nathaniel Broadman.Chris Sipe as Noah Wilder (other scenes).In the future, Mimzy provides the genetic information required to restore humanity, both physically and mentally. Larry, who witnessed Mimzy leaving the present, says he saw "numbers", a reference to a previous dream he had which related to him the winning lottery numbers: He had missed out before by never buying a ticket. Via the time portal which they construct, Mimzy returns to the future. Mimzy absorbs a tear from Emma, which contains her DNA. The FBI do not believe them, so Noah and Emma use their powers to escape. The Mimzy is revealed as artificial life utilizing nanotechnology created by Intel.Įmma relates a dire message from Mimzy: Many Mimzys were sent into the past, but none of the others had returned to their home time, and now Mimzy is beginning to disintegrate, and must convey uncorrupted human DNA to the future to correct the damage done to DNA by ecological catastrophes. The family is held for questioning by Special Agent Nathaniel Broadman. By mistake, Noah causes a power black-out over half the state of Washington, alerting the FBI to their activities. The children's parents, and Larry White, Noah's science schoolteacher discover the devices and the children's powers. Emma describes herself as "the chosen one" but names Noah as "the engineer" without which she cannot "build the bridge to the future". The children gain genius-level intellects and psionic powers: Noah can teleport objects using a card-sized rectangle of green lines of light, but thanks to her link, Emma develops the more advanced abilities, becoming the only one who can use the "spinners", stones which can float and produce a force field. The children keep their discovery secret from their parents.Įmma becomes telepathically connected to the rabbit, "Mimzy", which imparts knowledge onto her. The "toys" are initially incomprehensible to them, other than one which appears to be a stuffed rabbit. Here, they are discovered by two children: Noah Wilder and his younger sister, Emma. A scientist in the distant future has set out to avert a catastrophic ecological disaster, and sends a small number of high tech devices that resemble toys back in time to modern day Seattle.
