Movie Reviews of Mika: Live In Cartoon Motion

Movie Review: DVD gives you more than you expect
Summary: 5 Stars

Having first purchased and listened to MIKA's CD "Life in Cartoon Motion" it was obvious that there was more going on than just the music. A few YouTube clips piqued my interest, and this DVD "LIVE in Cartoon Motion" confirmed that MIKA has a whole storyline built up alongside the music. There are several recurring characters in the work, Lollipop Girl, Big Girl, Billy Brown, etc. Several characters are brought to life onstage as part of the live show, which has a sprawling, carnival atmosphere.
This DVD is not just concert footage, but contains solo acoustic performances, officially produced music videos and a mini-documentary about MIKA and his bandmates on a round-the-world tour. Interestingly the song lyrics change slightly when the music is performed live, the artist's prerogative, of course. MIKA says in one of the interview segments that he is dyslexic and cannot read music, even more novel in light of his classical training at the Royal College of Music.
Altogether, "LIVE in Cartoon Motion" gives more than one would expect, and is worth buying.

Summary of Mika: Live In Cartoon Motion

Mika's offering, Live In Cartoon Motion, captures the star at his show stopping best, thrilling a sold-out audience of 4,000 fans at France's famed L'Olympia venue. Mika's Live In Cartoon Motion marks the first time the energetic star's lively show has been filmed in its entirety. Directed by Matt Askem (David Bowie, Paul Weller,) it captures Mika's flamboyant stage presence, with the star performing most of the songs from his 3 million selling worldwide debut album Life In Cartoon Motion, including "Relax, Take It Easy," "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)," and the global chart-topping "Grace Kelly." Using 10 cameras and shot in high definition, the DVD also features a documentary chronicling Mika's escapades throughout his much heralded world tour, a highly-raved-about romp that the caused San Francisco Chronicle to proclaim the star "an incredible showman." Nominated for two MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this week, the tireless star will tour Europe this fall, returning to his native England for a series of live shows in late November and early December.
