Mila en el Multiverso

Disappointed. Set down with my 9-year-old granddaughter, because it looks good. Then like the previous reviewer, I had to mess around for the next 30 minutes trying to find the English translation. I kept reading for the 9-year-old who could not keep up with reading the subtitles. Finally, gave up. Found this post that informed me that there is no English translation. Too bad! The one star is for Disney not the show. Ok, just told my review needs to be at least 600 words. That's too bad, I have nothing else to say about a show that exhausted my granddaughter and I and wasted about 30 minutes of our quality Friday night fun.

I don't get it I pay Disney a service to provide entertainment in English. Why am I getting a Spanish only program? I can't watch this all I can do is read it, I do not understand the logic. Every program that an English is available in Spanish why is it that a program in Spanish is not available in English? If this is something they are going to continue to do a lot of people will drop Disney. When I watch a movie, I want to be able to get immersed in it and having to read subtitles at the same time, I'm not immersed in it at all it makes it very difficult to watch.

This just makes absolutely no sense.

This back story for Mila, is interesting even for adults. Still a story where teen don't tryst adults or adults are represented as people who don't listen, like Mila's disconnected mother. That said the universes are interesting, the operators are scary and the bad guy/gal are foreboding. I haven't watched all the episodes, yet, so no spoilers. I can't say if today's teens would enjoy this film, but it's a great opportunity to introduce young people to foreign films that aren't in their native language and get them to practice reading subtitles. I prefer this to dubbing, Dubbing gets in the way of viewing actors performances in my opinion. I have watched many films in Spanish, Mandarin and French, but only a few in Portuguese. It was fun.

I do maintain that the adults in teen movies are poorly written, lacking depth and sensitivity. Given how poorly Mila's mother treated her, why is she even looking for her? What kind of back story doesn't explain this incongruous? Maybe they will do an episode to cover it. I hope the future episodes treat adults with more respect and realism. As these Multiverses are dangerous and the operators destroy them, it's a serious topic that I believe teenagerscwould appreciate. Treating it lightly seems very unlikely.

The characters straddle the fine line between being wholesome role models while still feeling real enough that kids will identify with them. The only bummer for kids who don't know Portuguese or Spanish is that the series isn't available dubbed in English, so the subtitle reading could turn away some potential fans. Personally I find the show to be very refreshing and Portuguese is such a beautiful language.

Parents need to know that Mila in the Multiverse is a sci-fi series where characters travel between multiple universes. There's a fair amount of scariness and violence -- the evil Operator characters are pretty foreboding, and frequently make threats on the characters' lives. While the content is great for tweens, viewers who don't know Portuguese or Spanish will need to read subtitles of the dialogue; the amount of reading may make it more suitable for slightly older kids.

It's so good!

Don't be fooled by bad reviews. I really hope it gets renewed for season two. It has a slow start, but then you really get to know the characters and the mystery to the multiverse is quite intriguing.

The top negative review was because it is not in English. That is silly.

This is a great show, kind of Whovian in it's own way.

Yes it is campy, but very fun. I think it ended on a cliff hanger of sorts, but nothing horrible if it doesn't get renewed, it is still worth the watch.

Synopsis: Mila gets separated from her mother in another universe, and there are these mysterious Overlords trying to destroy the multiverse.
