Mia and Me: The Hero of Centopia

A fun film in which Mia, a human girl who can go the land of elves and unicorns, as an elf, must help save her magical world from an evil monster.

It is very colourful, even the bad guys are bright and colourful as well as slimy. All the old friends are in this film, if you used to watch the TV series you'll know them, but if you haven't that's okay too. And there is a new friend, Iko, a boy elf from Lotus Island who just wants to fight the bad toad monster with an army. Mia convinces him that they must solve her oracle to save his people. Mo and Yuko and Phuddle are all helping too, which was great to see.

There are a lot of funny moments, mainly because of Phuddle, because he is a little crazy. There is also funny action and fighting the bad guys with giant puffy balls. The new characters made me laugh. I enjoyed seeing everyone from the TV show again.

The 3D models are very low budget, and I haven't seen animation this bad in a very long time. When speaking the teeth just go up and down randomly, and the lips stay exactly with the teeth. It's like some flip-top head puppet thing going on. These are some zero-effort models and animation. Not really fit for feature film. This might be acceptable for a 3 year old's Saturday morning kids show.

I just couldn't get past how bad this was, so can't really speak about any other aspect of the 'movie'. I'm an amateur, and I've done better on my own, so a paid professional should be able to do better.

This is the best movie ever! If you've seen the TV show you'll know what and who it's about, if you haven't, well, it's about a girl named Mia who goes on an adventure to a magical land called Centopia and helps save the unicorns from an evil queen. The animation is so cool and the characters are all really likable. I especially love the unicorns, Onchao is my favorite, but the new Storm Unicorn is very funny and grumpy. I miss the original Mia, but I guess she's too old now, and the new Mia is pretty awesome. Anyway this movie is perfect for kids and even grown-ups will love it too. I can't wait to watch it again!

I loved this film especially the unicorns Onchao, Stormy, and Phuddle, he is so funny in this movie. Mia is a great heroine, and that's what the title of this movie should really be, "The heroine of Centopia". The animation is better than the TV show as are the characters and the islands. I really like the way the dark world of Toxor, and he is such a cool villain, looks, it is the best. Also the King is a lot more goofy and funny in this film than the TV show. Mo and Yuko are great together and finally together. There's magic, fighting bad guys and saving the world, what's not to like? I had to rent this movie as it is not showing in the cinemas, but it's still a lot of fun.

"Mia and Me, The Hero of Centopia" is a fairly decently animated film. The story is pretty basic, and the animation is occassional good, mostly average and sometimes clunky and poor, I guess not that unexpected considering it's not a Pixar/Disney/Illumination/Warner Bros animation studio film. The characters are likable, but they aren't particularly deep or complex. The plot is a bit predictable, but it's still an enjoyable watch, with some humour, mainly from the side characters. Overall, it's not a bad movie for kids, but it's not particularly memorable or outstanding. It's worth watching if you're into animated films with unicorns and pixie like elves, but don't expect it to be a cinematic masterpiece.
