How intersting. I wonder if maybe that influenced something in her life and explained her odd adventures, and why she was able to travel inside places like the looking glass.

maybe. in the movie the last mimzy the little girl is always saying mimzy told her how to do unexplainable things. and she makes and looks through this one thing she called a looking glass. for people who havent seen it please watch it. i think it may have a lot to do with alice.

Could you perhaps explain better what you mean by "it may have a lot to do with alice"? I've seen/own the movie and while I have not read the original prose it's based off of I know that both are fiction. I admit to being confused by what you two are trying to imply or say so here's my attempt:
Wiki's The Last Mimzy Page - note the very first paragraph here where it says the short story it's based off of.
Mimsy Were the Borogoves - the short story that inspired the movie.
"Mimzy" comes from "mimsy" a word invented by Lewis Carroll for use in his poem Jabberwocky. Mimsy is a combination word of miserable and flimsy making it an adjective rather than a noun for a sci-fi bunny creation. It seems the writers just hijacked the word for their own original story, Mimsy Were the Borogoves.
Now what I want to know is why they changed it to a z from s...

I've never seen Mimzy myself, but I've heard people talking about the last part, about Alice. But since Lewis Carrol made the original word, mimsy, meaning Flimsy and Misrible, why would that be a good idea for a movie?
