Mia is a twelve-year-old girl more than a bit cautious while entering the newest chapter in her life: namely, a new boarding school after her parents go missing. Without guidance, a place to live, or very many friends to turn to, Mia is simply treading water. As Mia and Me opens, the girl stumbles into solace when she looks over the few remaining keepsakes of her family: a bracelet and an old book about unicorns. These items, it turns out, are keys to the gateway of a fantasy world.

Mia and Me splits its time between the live-action and animated realms by drawing up the new fantasy world Mia discovers (Centopia) in computer animation.

The girl, her boarding school, and the new friends she soon makes there, are all live-action. But once Mia crosses over into Centopia, CG takes over. Centopia is populated by elves, forest spirits, dragons, centaurs, sorcerers, and of course, unicorns. Once there, Mia, now with pink-purple hair and bright violet eyes, finds she can expand her imagination unlike ever before. However, not all is well for the denizens of Centopia; the evil Queen Panthea is out to capture the realm's unicorns in an effort to use their magic to grant her eternal youth.

No, I've never seen it before but it does look cool!
