These brilliant aliens could've had the classroom all set up, ready for the mice to learn.

And they never disclosed any issues on backward writing in the film. I think it's a huge flaw.

But those flaws weren't as bad as the film not having an ending, and didn't answer the big questions in the film. Who, how, why? etc... they just took the needle off the record and thought it would be cool to wrap the film early. Mega flaws.
