History WesternAnimation / Mosaic

* 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]].

* DoggedNiceGuy: Stephan to Maggie, though not to a creepy extent as he just CannotSpitOut (though he tries) and Maggie is insanely ObliviousToLove.

A direct-to-video animated movie presented by Creator/StanLee. An aspiring actress, Maggie Nelson, must track down her father, an Interpol agent, who has been taken by members of the underground, special-powered race called the Chameliel. Aided by Mosaic, a Chamelial himself, Maggie searches for him and learns to deal with her own special powers, given to her through a freak accident.

!!Tropes:

* {{Animorphism}}: Maggie and the Chamelials can change their DNA to any creature besides humans, mainly using this for battles.

* GoshDangItToHeck: "Cheese and crackers! What The heck happened to him?" Said by New York detective upon seeing [[spoiler: a Chamelial killed by Mannequin.]]

* LukeIAmYourFather: [[spoiler: Mosaic is the son of Manniquin, the movie's BigBad]].

* MsFanservice: Maggie, as much as the rating would allow. She spends most of her time at home in a midriff-baring top and sleep pants (even doing a hip-shaking dance to some rock music) and has a NotWearingPantsDream where she runs around in a bra and panties. It's little wonder that Stephan is so smitten with her.

* TitleDrop: There is a character named Mosaic, but curiously he's not the main character (Maggie is.) [[spoiler:She does adopt his name after his death at the very end, however.]]

* BadassLongcoat: Mosaic

* [[MisterExposition Miss Exposition]]: Maggie takes a moment at a park to basically summarize the plot up until that point... out loud, to nobody(?) She might have just been collecting her thoughts, but the fact they animated her lips makes it confusing.

** Curiously, the only chameleon power she doesn't use is an stretching tongue.

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

* ArtShift: The opening titles have a more graphic style compared to the film itself. The fact that two animation studios were used (Creator/{{AKOM}} for the opening, Creator/MookDLE for the film proper) shows.
