Summary: One night Mia has a premonition. So after saying a few words of parting at her mother's grave, she sets out on a journey across mountains and jungles to search for her father, who has been trapped in a landslide at a disaster-plagued construction site on a remote tropical lake.

So after saying a few words of parting at her mother's grave, she sets out on a journey across mountains and jungles to search for her father, who has been trapped in a landslide at a disaster-plagued construction site on a remote tropical lake. In the middle of the lake stands the ancient Tree of Life, watched over by innocent, bumbling forest spirits called the Migoo, who grow and change shape as they please, morphing from small childlike beings to petulant giants. It is the Migoo who have been disrupting the construction to protect this sacred site – and now together with Mia - they join in a fight to find Mia's father and save the Tree. (GKids)… Expand

Lovingly designed, but dramatically inert. Read full review

It's lovely, truly, but so heavy-handed and slipshod that it's probably best enjoyed with the sound off -- an option they're not likely to offer at the movie theater. Read full review

Trying to parse meaning in "Mia" is secondary to its main point, which is its look, created with 500,000 hand-drawn frames. That's impressive in an age in which most mainstream animation is done with computers. Read full review

Mia and the Migoo boasts a handsome, folkloric look that is often undermined by a ham-handed script. Read full review

The look is appealing, but the dark third act and heavy themes may alienate family audiences. Read full review

Where Mia and the Migoo triumphs is in the art department alone, with rich brown charcoal outlines, majestic pastel washes that give depth to the landscapes, and riotous colors that are more vivid than the story line. Read full review

Far too childish to intrigue adults yet too slow and dull for kids. Read full review

Un des films d'animations français, les plus ambitieux, les plus poétiques, riches, denses, et philosophiques. Une fable des temps modernes, à la croisée actuelle du quotidien, aux prises à ce monde récent, et ses travers d'époque :

Mia et le Migou, est un film d'animation 2D, à l'heure ou Disney abandonnait déjà ce mode, ce style, pour faire l'emphase de la 3D (2008, sa dernière année 2D)

Ici, une histoire intrigante, des personnages riches en couleur, et des valeurs. Beaucoup de valeurs. Des valeurs humaines. Des valeurs d'espoir
Et des personnages, moins superficiels qu'il n'y parait, avec un développement, des remords, mais toujours.. l'acceptation de l'autre.

Chacun, peut changer. Renouveler son regard sur le monde, faire marche arrière
Je conseille donc ce film, aux plus jeunes comme aux plus âgés, en famille… Expand
