source: Mia and Me: The Hero of Centopia

"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.

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.

I liked this movie and so did my six year old niece who I took to see it. It is bright colourful and has a great message about the value of friendship and how it can be used to do good in the world. Some reviewers have commented that it has too much violence and fighting and was scary for their kids, and while all kids are different I found the violence amount and level of scariness comparable to the "Smurfs". Yes there are fight scenes, but no-one seriously gets hurt on screen, Elves and unicorns are hit with bright colourful smoke bombs that turn them into some kind of mutants, but in the end everyone is turned back to the normal self - so everyone is saved. While the quality of animation doesn't match Disney or Pixar, the look is still cool, the music is great, and the voices are suitable for the characters. If you have a rainy day with little to do and like unicorns, give this film a watch.

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!
