The Last Mimzy....
I have to say, that I really loved this movie. Superficially, the movie has a couple of cute kids that are sweet without being sickly like the Welch's grapejuice kids.....
On a deeper level that I have to say that my own kids were too young to understand, I thought that the message was one that was more involved and valuable than that of "Happy Feet" (which was a movie that I didn't like at all).
The movie talks (subtley) about damage that we are doing to ourselves on a genetic level, to the environment and the possible ramifications that it has for our future - destruction. It has a child-like solution but the premise and subtleties were sound IMO. It was a story of caution...and hope.
I do wonder how many adults will understand the message of the movie.....
