Movie Info

As legend has it, the first Guardian of the Sun threw a harpoon into the cosmos and roped the sun to bring light and warmth to all of humanity. Then the Guardian of the Moon lured the moon to the Land of Darkness to provide a balance to the sun and supply the world with dreams. At a momentous ceremony to appoint the two new guardians, an accident seems to occur; the heir apparent is passed over, and the title Guardian of the Moon is bestowed on the waif-like Mune, a small and frightened forest faun who seems wholly unprepared to take on such a weighty responsibility. This news excites Necross, the nefarious ruler of the Underworld, a corrupted ex-guardian who decides to take advantage of Mune's weakness and steal back the sun for himself. Now it is up to unlikely hero Mune and his friend Glim - a headstrong young girl with wax for skin - to save the sun and restore order to the world.

The animation in Mune: Guardian of the Moon is absolutely stunning.

Get your head around the film's slightly convoluted mythology and you will be rewarded with an engaging adventure.

Jason Best
Movie Talk
Beautiful computer animation and an inventive, complex mythology, the French-made film could have really been something special. Unfortunately, it's bogged down by some cookie-cutter characters and one-note vocal performances.

Original animated fantasy has a few frightening elements.

Sandie Angulo Chen
Common Sense Media
It's entertaining, it's complex, and imaginative, and builds a wonderful array of heroes and villains that suck us in to this mesmerizing world.
