Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A 2007 film centered around Noah Wilder, a video game-loving, somewhat irritable young man who believes that "school sucks, life sucks, and [he] suck[s]", and his sensitive and precocious younger sister Emma Wilder. While on vacation with their parents over spring break, Noah and Emma find a box filled with strange objects that are incomprehensible to them except for a stuffed rabbit named Mimzy that can communicate with Emma. Sensing that there is something odd about their find, they keep it a secret from their parents, particularly after Noah tries to show a translucent rock filled with constantly shifting green triangles to his mother and it appears to her to be a normal rock. Emma becomes emotionally attached to Mimzy as the mysterious objects begin to give the siblings psychic abilities and increase their mental capacities to genius level. Noah's science teacher Larry and his mystic wife Naomi get involved when Larry notices that Noah has been drawing mandalas, and the situation becomes serious when Noah accidentally assembles the objects into a generator that causes a blackout in the entire city of Seattle. The FBI discovers the source of the surge and the Wilder family members are arrested; meanwhile, Emma has elucidated that Mimzy and the other objects were sent from the future, and it is up to her and Noah to figure out how to send Mimzy back to her own time and save humanity's future.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film is inspired by the short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore. | |

Adults Are Useless | |

Adults Are Useless: "I showed the green glass thing to Mom. She thought it was a paperweight." Indeed, by the end of the film, the adults—except for Larry and Naomi—are little more than hindrances to Noah and Emma. They thought they were helping out by throwing away the objects and Mimzy because it made Emma have a seizure but in the end, hindrance. The parents didn't even know about Emma's seizure. Noah called them while it was happening, but Emma woke up before they entered the room. Mrs. Wilder threw out the objects because she thought all the "weirdness"—specifically, Emma levitating—would stop once she tossed them. Larry even admits "this is SO far out of my league" when the Wilders describe what Emma did with the sugar. Nathaniel Broadman and the Intel guy also openly admit they have no idea what's going on after seeing Emma use the "spinners". | |
