Time Out
Lovingly designed, but dramatically inert.

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.

Chicago Reader
Director Jacques-Remy Girerd often divides the frame into three vertical bands, each with a different color signature; this dynamic technique makes the eventual introduction of explosive action sequences seem like overkill.

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

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.

Village Voice
Regrettably, both the condemnation of capitalist avarice and violence and the sanctification of nature and youthful innocence are dramatized only in simplistic black-and-white terms.

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

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
