But they’re all presented in a matter meant to be enticing to children, whether they’re talking about magical crystals, palm reading, levitation or the universe speaking to you.Īdapted from Lewis Padgett’s All Mimsy Were the Borogroves, a title drawn from Lewis Carroll’s The Jabberwocky, The Last Mimzy is the story of what happens when two seemingly ordinary (and adorable) children, Noah ( Chris O’Neil) and Emma ( Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) discover a mysterious box of “toys” near their Seattle vacation home. Of course, none of these beliefs are embraced exclusively, as they’re all woven throughout the course of the film. While a movie with a stuffed bunny as a central character may seem innocuous enough, the masterminds behind The Last Mimzy showcase a Hollywood brand of spirituality that’s not particularly subtle as everything from Buddhism to astrology to new age philosophies get major screen time. Rating: PG (for thematic material, mild peril, mild language)Īctors: Chris O’Neil, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Joely Richardson, Timothy Hutton, Rainn Wilson, Kathryn Hahn, Michael Clarke Duncan
