Stan Lee Presents: Mosaic (2006)

Anna Paquin
Kirby Morrow

Directed by Roy Allen Smith

Plot: From the mind of Stan Lee comes MOSAIC, an animated action film in the tradition of X-Men and Spider-Man. The combination of an electrical storm and a strange rune gives a young actress (the voice of Anna Paquin) chameleon-like abilities. In addition to using her new powers to save the world from a crazed villain, she has to find the time to study for exams.

Review: Stan Lee is an over the top icon. When I think of him I consider him an icon, but when I see him I think of a homeless man stuck in the 70’s. Luckily Mr. Lee sticks to what he knows and that is superheroes. Mosaic is the first in a series of straight to DVD animated superhero films to come from the mind of Stan Lee and his POW Entertainment. The characters are ok and the animation is decent, but the story is a little weak. The film starts kind of slow, but does pick up some later in the story. The animation style is new, but still has that classic cartoon feel to it and I think that is the only way a Stan Lee character can work. This was a decent animated hero film, but I hope they get better. I think that the more they put out the better they will get and a whole new group of iconic characters will come alive for the next generation.
