Before the 2016 German buyout, the show was a German‑Italian‑Canadian co-production between Hahn Film AG, March Entertainment and Rainbow S.p.A. A feature film titled Mia and Me: The Hero of Centopia was produced by Made 4 Entertainment, Hahn & m4e Productions, Studio B Animation, Studio 100 Animation and Flying Bark Productions.
After the death of her parents, a 12-year-old girl named Mia Marconi is gifted a magical game that she doesn’t know about that her father had made in life, taking the form of a large book called The Legend of Centopia.
It has been captured, broken apart into twenty pieces, and scattered by an army of dark elves called the Munculus, led by the evil queen named Panthea.
In Centopia, an evil circus director named Rixel, who we learn has been working for Lord Drakon, king of the dark elves, sets his sights on catching Onchao to please his master.
Along the way, Mia meets a flute-playing elf named Simo, his mother, Tessandra and the 3 nature unicorns, Balanda, Zato and Yolika.
Meanwhile, Gargona is joined by a cockroach villain named Dax as they try to catch a golden unicorn horn to bring their master, Lord Drakon back.
In the real world during her summer vacation at the Poletti farm in Alto Aldridge with her friend, Sara (who is blind), she finds Mia's bracelet and travels to Centopia.
While a new threat in Centopia awaits when an evil toad named Toxor uses his dark magic to turn the guards into mindless slaves.
Back in the real world, Renzo finds out that Mia's magical secret was traveling to Centopia, making friends with Yuko and Mo, talking to the unicorns, flying with the elves and saving the island from Gargona, Panthea, Rixel, Dax and Lord Drakon.
Centopia is facing an existential threat: The original parts of the primeval continent are coming back together and Dystopia, home of Gargona and her trio of Dark Elves, Rixel, Dax, and Lord Drakon, has been set in motion as well.
A race against time begins, as Mia, Yuko, and Mo start their quest of finding the rare ingredients for the Potion of Unity that will nullify Dystopia's evil power.
The series aired in Singapore on MediaCorp Okto, in the United Arab Emirates on e-Junior, in Indonesia on RCTI and in Australia on 10 Peach (formerly Eleven).
