Referring to "The Last Mimsie" here...

The whole premise of the story was that a scientist from the future sends some of their time's toys into our present and that some of toys had gone to Lewis Carroll's time so that some kids in his era were exposed to it. The kids share information with Lewis Carroll so that his poem, "Jabberwocky", in Through the Looking-Glass has things in it that the kids shared with him and are like the last clue that the kids in our modern time need to figure out how to do some amazing things.

Mimsy is a word that was made up for a nonsense poem, "Jabberwocky", in Through the Looking-Glass (basically Alice in Wonderland 2) by Lewis Carroll. The poem is probably the most famous part of that book.
Not knowing anything about the movie, I would guess that Mimzy is a play off of that.

I think it originally refers to "Mimsie the cat", the MTM studios mascot. She died in 1988, the same year St. Elsewhere ended it's run. They paid tribute to her in the ending credits, and so did some other shows when they went off the air. Hence they refer to it as "the last mimsie".

The last Mimsie is a rabbit. My 11 year old son told me. He knows from an ad that he looked up on the net. It's the terry cloth rabbit that the girl carries everywhere.
