Institute History
Description
The Last Mimzy marks Robert Shaye's return to filmmaking (he hasn't left his other gig as the head of New Line Cinema). It is a welcome return because he has fashioned an intelligent and imaginative odyssey that speaks to adults as well as children and should delight audiences of all kinds. Based on an acclaimed sci-fi story, The Last Mimzy tells of two children who discover a mysterious box that contains "toys" that turn out to be devices with such fantastic power that they can alter the course of civilization. Transcending the pedestrian limits of the genre, Shaye has constructed a special treat that speaks to the sense of wonderment we all share about the universe.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
