   The Mimzy succeeded in collecting DNA from Emma via her tears, and the DNA was   
   used to cure Humanity's genetic ills.  But how were Earth's other species   
   cured of their genetic ills?  The Mimzy didn't collect THEIR DNA!   
      
   Did Emma and Noah retain the abilities the toys gave them?   
      
   I predict that they will become environmental activists when they grow up!
