The Last Mimzy


A movie based on a short story "Mimsy were the Borogoves" by Henry Kuttner & C. L. Moore written in 1947 about a young brother and a sister who discover some toys. They play with the toys, but these are machines from the future that help the children develop their metal powers.

It appears that there are problems in the future that these children must solve. Mimzy is not a stuffed baby bunny, but instead the product of an advanced civilization from the future. It has the ability to time travel. In fact, the rabbit Mimzy is in some old 1800's photographs.

What a beautiful story. I bought the book - "The Last Mimzy" and am reading it. It deals with time travel and how things will be in the future. My prediction is that in that far age, we will have truly incredible technology. Perhaps a Mimzy will be built after all.
