{{quote|'''Teacher in Meadow''': "Today, I'm going to show you a story. Let's all tune in together. A long time ago, the soul of our planet was sick. People had become isolated...warlike. Our world was frightened. It was dying. But a great scientist was trying to save us. He had tried many times, and knew he could only try once more. This was the last Mimzy."}}
[[Inspired By|Loosely adapted]] from the 1943 science fiction short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Decay]]: The film is loosely based upon the short story "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by [[Henry Kuttner]] and [[C. L. Moore]], writing under the joint pseudonym of Lewis Padgett, which is regarded as a classic of golden age science fiction. Some of the story's general plot elements were left intact, but many key details were removed or dumbed-down and the original dark ending was replaced with a fluffy environmental aesop.
* [[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.
** To be fair, they ''thought'' they were helping out by throwing away the objects and Mimzy, especially since all they knew was that it made Emma have a seizure.
Line 14:
* [[You Fail Biology Forever]]: There is no DNA in tears.
** Strands of DNA do not float around freely in tears, and tears are mostly water and salt, but a few cells are probable, especially after said tears have rolled down a person's face. Quickly locating and extracting DNA from those cells is only impossible with current biotechnology.

* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Noah is quite abrasive to Emma at first, but by the end of the movie they are getting along swimmingly, and Noah ends up {{spoiler|saving Emma's life}}.
* [[Bad Bad Acting]]: The child actors who play Noah and Emma are excellent, but the parents' acting is painful at times.
