History YMMV / TheLastMimzy

* HilariousInHindsight: [[Creator/KathrynHahn Naomi]] would later become ''far'' more involved in [[Series/WandaVision mystical and occult incidents]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments: "Did you see [[spoiler: the bridge]]?" Yes, Emma. Yes I did. And it was COOL.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Music/RogerWaters wrote a song specifically for this movie. It can be heard on the end credits.

* AdaptationDisplacement: The film was based on a short story called "Mimsy Were the Borogoves" by Lewis Padgett. The film and the story are...er...quite different.
** Most notably, the points of the two are focused on different things. The movie was about people in the future and the earth itself suffering from some sickness and having to get "pure" DNA from the past for a cure. The original story was about the concept of learning a new form of logic, and how the children use the toys to learn it and eventually disappear into an alternative dimension. And it wasn't about saving the earth from anything. It all happened by accident because the future scientist was simply testing a time machine using his son's discarded toys. He sent two boxes; one to Scott (not Noah) and Emma's time, one to Lewis Carroll's. There is no "Mimzy" in the story. The scientist sent a doll that comes apart to show interior anatomy. The only stuffed toy is Emma's own "Mr. Bear", whom she leaves behind. Scott and Emma don't become geniuses, their thinking just becomes radically different. Their ''parents'' were genius level intellectuals, who try and fail repeatedly to understand the logic the toys teach.

* NightmareFuel: Toward the end, there's a rather horrifying moment where Emma almost gets taken to the future with Mimzy. [[AdultFear And there's nothing the parents can do, because they're blocked by a forcefield]]. Luckily, Noah gets past it and gets his sister away.

* {{HSQ}}: The ending has a fairly high one. See CMOA above.
