It's a slightly up-dated and revised telling of a great science fiction story by Henry Kuttner, C.L. Moore's husband using the alias "Lewis Padgett." It's a short story called "Mimsy Were the Borogoves." It's worth reading, trust me! Excellent story.
Basically the original story was about 2 kids who find toys that are from the future, some scientist tinkering with a time travel machine had sent them back as an expirement in the story. He wasn't trying to deliberately change history, he just wanted to see if he could send something and his kids' old toys were handy. Anyway, the children who find them are changed by them, made smarter. When they read ALICE IN WONDERLAND and the works of Lewis Carroll, the kids find an important clue in "Mimsy Were the Borogroves" that lets them tap into a new form of power.

I'd like to picture the Mimzy like a homeless bum. and then you'd be walking along and he'd show up and you'd like try to hit him but then you realize hay it the Mimzy. yah

FROM THE PREVIEW I GATHERED THAT THE LITTLE GIRLS STUFFED RABBIT IS A MIMZY, IT IS THE SAME STUFFED RABBIT AS ALICE HAD ON THE COVER OF THE BOOK ALICE IN WONDERLAND. THE STUFFED RABBIT IS WHERE ALL THE STRANGE THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO THE CHILDREN COME FROM AS IT WAS IN THE BOOK "THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS" BETTER KNOWN AS DISNEYS "ALICE IN WONDERLAND"

(All Mimsy were the borogroves and the mome raths outgrabe)
From Jabberwocky in Alice (in wonderland) Through the looking glass Pg. 114...the explaination given by Humpty dumpty was.. "flimsy and miserable" a portmanteau. Like a contraction. Rather like the movie, I think. I wan't all that impressed with it's writers.

I THINK THAT "MIMZY" STANDS FOR SOMETHING
NOT EVEN THE OFFICIAL SITE STATES ANYTHING. HECK LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU FIND OUT

Where have you been? Don't you read? How can you not know? What are you wasting your time doing?
It is from "Alice" of course. If you are over five you should have read it MANY times.
Read and learn. Then you will not have to ask an OBVIOUS question.
