Mosaic (2007)

This is pretty much based off of a comic in how the style of animation is done and the script. Stan Lee wrote the script. It starts out with a typical way of a murder happening and someone who gets their hands on something they have no clue how to use.Maggie is pretty beautiful and seems well put together in what she wants to be and who she is. Sometimes she acts like a teenager though she has the body of an adult. The only thing she doesn't have seems to be her father's attention most of the time. He always seems to busy with his work to stay for her full performance. It's basically the typical idea of superhero background. Father gets attacked and she gets her powers after. We get the whole Spiderman genetics detail of her body changing too when she transforms. There are a lot of things that seem like a copy of Spiderman and they do make fun of it once in a while. One bad thing about this, she talks to herself a lot. She always seems to have to give explanations of why she is doing something.Mosaic is basically the gateway to the other side. The person that explains all that has happened to her and what the Chameliel world is like. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the love interest (Not saying yes or no to that) because of how he acts. He's actually rather cute as well in his 'normal' face. He and her make a cute couple… anyway. He knows much and yet seems to always be surprised when she one ups him.The artwork is actually very beautiful and detailed, much again like a comic book. I fell in love with the art style in this for it was also very colorful and bright even in the darker parts.The voices seem odd, almost like they are disconnected from their bodies. It's somewhat like a radio show this way with the artwork done afterwords. It isn't bad, just different. Another thing that seems interesting is that they explain a lot and they tried hard not to have cuss words.The only problem is that it doesn't have an ending. It actually keeps it open and I have not found anything more about the show giving a second movie.

I just saw this on Netflix and I disagree with the previous poster.(crispy comments) this is a CARTOON. yes the main character acts ditsy. So did Buffy the Vampire Slayer. yet she had a good run (7 seasons).Stan lee is obviously trying out different new characters in a one off setting similar to the action pack setting that brought us Kevin Sorbo as Hercules and the dreadful Cleopatra 2525.the art is similar to the old sat morning cartoons. however it is a little more adult in that it actual SHOWS (not in shadow as most PG rated cartoons) one person getting murdered and another beaten to a bloody mess. no bloodless fistfights here.as for Crispy's complaints about the "over-sexualization", I would point to several other cartoon such as batman the animated series and justice league and their depiction of super heroine garb.

I'm just an average teenage girl who is a fan of comic books. I only happened to be watching this at 2 in the morning and I thought it was fantastic! A lot of people say that there are a lot of ripoffs like the powers, effects, and images. But really the entire idea put together is completely original and unique. And really if there such a thing as being original anymore? A kick-ass teenage drama student who has the powers of a chameleon, with a best friend who is in love with her, a guy who is pretty much from a different planet teams up with her to save the world from an Alchemist crazy chameleon dude. A lot of action and unsuspecting twists. I loved this movie and I can't wait for more.

Stan Lee's new animated direct-to-DVD movie, 'Mosaic' is nothing new or amazing, despite the Hype-Master's -- er -- hype. It isn't bad, but there are a few cringe-inducing moments, mostly when overly-expositional dialogue is forced into the script. The plot concerns a high-school drama gal, Maggie, who gains strange chameleon powers from an artifact her father finds on a case at a museum ( he's with Interpol ). Anna Pacquin voices Maggie, and does as well as she can with some contrived dialogue. The other voice actors range from so-so to adequate, again hindered by the script. The animation, script and concept are 1990's Saturday morning cartoon quality. The artwork is occasionally brilliant, but mostly serviceable. All in all -- meh. It was only ten bucks, but I'd wait for it to go on sale.My copy came with a small comic book, and there are some amusing extras. That Stan, what a card.
