History WesternAnimation / Mosaic

* BarbieDollAnatomy: Maggie and the Chamelials get this when they turn invisible, even though they're actually wearing clothes and extends to anyone they're hiding as well, which leads to an awkward moment (for the viewer) when [[spoiler: Maggie has to hide herself and her father when Mannequin's henchmen try to kill him in his hospital room]].

* BittersweetEnding: Maniken and his plans to revived his Wife and take the world has been foiled, Nathan Nelson (Maggie's Father) has been saved, but Mosaic presumably falls to his death taking Maniken (who is reveal to be his Father) with him. Maggie is sadden and learns his father plans to wipeout the Chamelials, Maggie is also reunited with him and decides to used her Powers for good, she sets out to find the remaining Chameliel Stones and to honor Mosaic's Memory, she becomes the new Mosaic.
* BloodlessCarnage: Averted. Though not to the level of outright {{Gorn}}, there's decent amount of blood in the fights, the largest spilled being [[spoiler: when PolarBear!Maggie swipes Mannequin in the eye]].
* ComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler: The power that Facade created centuries ago enables alchemy without the tools the Chamelials usually use, naturally it also caused her to lose her mind and nearly destroy the world]].
* CrossCastRole: In-universe, Maggie is introduced playing Puck in a production of ''Theatre/AMidsummerNightsDream'', the role of which has been played by women in RealLife, so it may be an In-Universe case of AbilityOverAppearance.) [[spoiler: The end of the movie has her studying to play the lead role of ''Theatre/{{Hamlet}}'' with some lampshading from her father]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Both Maggie and Mannequin.

* DeadPersonImpersonation: [[spoiler: Maggie scans Facade's DNA in Italy and later uses it to distract Mannequin during his ritual.]]

* FallenHero: [[spoiler: Facade, the high Priest of Chimera and Mannequin's wife/Mosaic's mother, figured out to use alchemy without tools but went mad with power and had to be put down by a an alliance of humans and Chameliel]].
* FantasticRacism: The Chamelials have experienced this in the past and choose to remain hidden to avoid conflict; Mannequin certainly has it in regards to humanity, [[spoiler: blaming them for the death of his power-mad wife even though it was an alliance of both humans and Chamelials that stopped her from devastating the world]]. [[spoiler: When rescued at the end of the movie, Maggie's father unfortunately feels that all the Chamelials are dangerous like Mannequin and should be destroyed since he doesn't realize that the young man that saved him (Mosaic) was also a Chameliel and his daughter has their powers]].
* FantasyForbiddingFather: Maggie's father is a sympathetic version as he's more concerned with her supporting herself than any disdain for her theater work. After he's injured in the line of duty by Mannequin, Maggie lightly teases him about how "safe and secure" his job is. [[spoiler: He comes around at the end when he sees that Maggie isn't neglecting her school work and follows through on his promise to help her rehearse]].
* GoshDangItToHeck: "Cheese and crackers! What the heck happened to him?" Said by New York detective upon seeing [[spoiler: a Chamelial killed by Mannequin.]]

* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Mosaic ends up taking Manniquin down a cliff with him]].
* HiddenElfVillage: Chimera, the Chamelial's island home. However it was destroyed long ago in a volcanic eruption.

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Mosaic is the son of Mannequin, the movie's BigBad. Not a surprise to Mosaic who's been tracking his father, but it sure was to Maggie]].
* MissingMom: Maggie's mother is mentioned when [[spoiler: she and Mosaic go to Italy]], Maggie saying her mother had promised to take her to Europe; this and other hints strongly indicate that she died some time ago. [[spoiler: Mosaic's mother is also deceased, but much more important to the plot]].

* NeckSnap: How Mannequin kills a security guard in the opening scene. [[spoiler: To his surprise, the guard is actually a Chameliel agent placed by Mosaic]].
* NeverFoundTheBody: [[spoiler: Mosaic and Mannequin both fall into an icy crevice that removes them from the story but doesn't confirm their deaths]].
* ObliviousToLove: Maggie is an intelligent young woman but she is painfully blind to the fact that Stephan is head over heels for her. When Mosaic asks if he's her boyfriend, she automatically corrects him with "best friend."

* ShoutOut: Several to ComicBook/SpiderMan:

** One of the forms taken by Mannequin resembles The Lizard, a Spider-Man villain (and Stan Lee creation.)

* WonTheSuperpowerLottery: Maggie gained several powers beyond those of a chameleon (or the chamelial's.) For example, she could see the DNA of people and animals and imitate their forms as well as having SuperStrength, enhanced agility and thermal vision.

* {{Expy}}: Some people have noted that Maggie is an interesting combination of Franchise/SpiderMan, ComicBook/{{Mystique}}, and [[ComicBook/FantasticFour the Invisible Woman]].

* ShoutOut: Several to Franchise/SpiderMan:

[[SimilarlyNamedWorks No relation]] to a 2019 AdventureGame of [[VideoGame/{{Mosaic}} the same name]].

* BittersweetEnding: Maniken and his plan has been foiled and Nathan Nelson (Maggie's Father) has been saved, but Mosaic presumably falls to his death taking Maniken (who is reveal to be his Father) with him. Maggie is sadden and learns his father plans to wipeout the Chamelials, Maggie is also reunited with him and decides to used her Powers for good, she sets out to find the remaining Chameliel Stones and to honor Mosaic's Memory, she becomes the new Mosaic.

** Mosaic's [[spoiler: death]] seems awfully close to SherlockHolmes and his [[spoiler: temporary death]].

* AttemptedRape: [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar Though it's not overtly stated]], Maggie foils a rape attempt at the Central Park Zoo by changing into a cheetah to save a young woman, then directing a security guard to the would-be rapists as her human self.
