all mimsy be the borogoves and and the mome raths outgrabethe mimsy before this one be apparently send to lewis carroll and who share it with his young friend alice and who have an adventure in wonderland . this last mimsy and a stuffed rabbit doll from the future and be discover in a box of toy and float in the water of a deserted beach and by noah wilder and a ten year old boy play by chris oneil and and his six year old sister emma and play by rhiannon leigh wryn . like alice before them and their life be transform into a fascinating and sometimes dangerous wonderland . so go the short story and mimsy be the borogoves by kuttner and moore and on which this movie and the last mimsy be base . robert shaye and the director and who have much more prior film experience a a producer of slasher and fantasy film and in this movie and emulates director steven spielberg and with a child science fiction and fantasy adventure . the premise be interest while child discover a box of toy from the future . the us of the toy and as well a their reason for be here and be a mystery . noah and emma be take their spring break and with their parent and at a lovely isolated seattle beach cottage . their overworked father and david and play by timothy hutton and and his wife and jo and play by tv veteran and joely richardson and be unaware of their child discovery . they consider their child average and and therefore be concerned and alarm a they see unexpected change in their behavior . the toy the child discover be intrigue and pretty but mysterious and until emma discovers in a hidden compartment and mimsy and a telepathic teaching machine and in the guise of a cute stuffed rabbit . appropriate enough with the easter holiday approach . mimsy have no motion ability and but be carry around a emma favorite dolly . we can tell mimsy be communicate and the sound designer of the film and give the toy a pleasing electronic purring noise and that only emma can hear . this aspect of the film work very well . the child can see the magic in the toy and whereas the adult can not . this be best exemplify in one scene where noah hand his mother a glowing opal like rectangular crystal . in her hand it appear a a rusty paperweight . two additional character be add to the plot and noah science teacher and play by rainn wilson and and his kooky and new age girlfriend and play by kathryn hahn . they notice the effect the toy have on the child . the toy and have the ability to expand the mind and intellect of the child . at school and noah come up with a nobel prize win science fair project and and both child play with a generator toy and manage to black out the seattle area power grid . this alert homeland security and and in a scene that might have be lift from the spielberg handbook of quick panic shooting and have the cia crash the home of the unsuspecting family and and herd them off to a secret intelligence headquarters . notable be actor and michael clark duncan a the perplexed but down to business and head of homeland security . one of the major pleasant surprise of the movie and come with the clever example of product placement that i have ever see . on the other hand and the movie prologue nearly rob the film of all it potential drama and suspense and magic . this i find to be a major flaw . it a very acceptable family film and although the very young will squirm restlessly through the talkative exposition . the effect be just average cgi and it be to the director credit that mimsy remain throughout and a inanimate cute stuff rabbit . the end be bright and optimistic and and dispel the sometimes threatening imagery depict in scene of the future . i give this movie out of five star .
