The last Mimzy

An adorable fairytale, although it has no fairies, just two children and a cute stuffed bunny toy. It tells the story of how our future was at risk, in real danger, so an old scientist created many Mimzy and sent them back in time, in various points of the past. None of them made it back, until the last Mimzy was found on  a beach by Emma and her brother Noah, five and ten years old. There is also a piece of glass in which Noah sees incredible geometrical shapes but that seems a piece of stone if his mother touches it. A few pieces of rock that float in the air only if Emma launches them; and of course there is Mimzy, that adorable bunny that talks to Emma, in its own strange-noises way. These things start changing the two children, making them more intelligent, and of course this starts to worry both their parents and the Fbi, when Noah activates a generator causing a blackout in the whole of Seattle, maybe even more, I'm not sure. Noah and Emma escape the Fbi research facility where they had been locked in with their family quite easily: all they have to do is : cover one camera, and Noah does this talking to the bugs so they go all over it, and opening a couple of doors, and it would appear that Mimzy helped them with that.
The problem is that Emma knows her bunny is the last Mimzy, and knows also that it's dying, it will die if she doesn't send it back home in time, so she cries her pure heart out and a tear falls on Mimzy, giving it her pure Dna. Actually it's incredible that only one tear falls: this child cries very little! Anyway, they activate the stones, put Mimzy inside and activate the generator. Mimzy goes back to the future bringing Emma's tear with it :-)
Of course, if you want to look into it, it's not clear why the future people would shoot the scientist if Mimzy didn't return, and also doesn't explain how it is that Mimzy worked so quickly because as soon as it reappeared the future people got rid of their masks, refrained from killing the scientist and went out in a new, wonderful world...but please, you shouldn't want to do that. This is like a fairytale, where the main characters are a little girl and a stuffed bunny!! Personally I took it simbolically, not so literally: Mimzy saved them all, them and their world.
It was very cute, and the little girl was cute and touching, and was the only one that succeeded because she had the help of her brother :-) Very cute, for a moment there when a woman told Noah he didn't have any mistical sign while his younger sister did, she was the special one, I was worried the kid might get jealous, so I was happy to see that he didn't ! :-)
I liked it.
