In an imaginary world, a small [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] were made by the first Guardians to warm up a small planet inhabited by different, but marvelous, people. The Guardians, generation after generation, preserve the harmony of the world. The people of the day and those of the night live in relative harmony, even though they are very different from each other. But, in the depth of the planet, Necross, a failed, corrupted Guardian of the Sun who has once trying to steal the Sun for himself and then banished by mighty warrior Xolal for it, awaits the opportunity to set darkness over the world.
On a small planet whose inhabitants are made of natural materials, the first Guardians brought a small [[Sun]] and [[Moon]] to bring light to the world and preserve its harmony, traveling in colossal temple-like animals. In the present, despite their differences, the people of the day and night live in peace. However, Necross, a corrupted Guardian of the Sun who previously tried to steal the Sun before being defeated by the warrior Xolal and banished to the Underworld, awaits the opportunity to plunge the world into darkness.


In the present day, apprentice Guardians Sohone and Leeyoon prepare to take on the roles of Guardians of the Sun and Moon from Xolal and Yule. On the day of their induction, the light of the Sun accepts Sohone as planned, but the lunar Ewe chooses Mune, a young, inexperienced Faun boy, over Leeyoon.
The day is approaching when the Sun's apprentice guardian, Sohone, and the Moon's apprentice guardian, Leeyoon, will take over from the present Guardians of the Sun and Moon (an old Xolal and Yule, respectively). On the day of their induction, the light of the Sun accepts Sohone as planned, but Leeyoon is vetoed by the lunar Ewe, who chooses a young troubling, unexperienced Faun boy named Mune instead. An impulsive imp called Mox, who’s a servant of Necross, inform the latter about Xolal’ s retirement, Necross see this as an opportunity to steal the Sun again. After the ceremony and show what to do to their successors, the old Guardians passing (Yule turns into a small field of tall glowing plant-like trees and Xolal turns into a stone statue). On the following night, an upset Leeyoon is visited by pale snakes, send by Necross, to stir up his jealousy and advise him to pit Sohone against Mune. Meanwhile, Mune has troubles maneuvering the temple of the Moon correctly: the temple leaves its path and interferes with Sohone. While Sohone leaves his temple after Leeyoon convinced him to scold Mune, Necross sends Mox and his shy, nature lover imp partner Spleen, to steal the Sun and bring it to him. Necross makes the Sun die off gradually, to make sure that no one would take it from him. Night falls everywhere, and a distressed Mune is banished from his own people.


After his imp servant Mox informs him of Xolal's retirement, Necross sees an opportunity to steal the Sun again. After the ceremony, Xolal and Yule teach their respective successors how to operate their Temples before dying, respectively becoming a statue and glowing tree. The following night, Necross sends Pale Snakes to corrupt Leeyoon and pit Sohone against Mune. Meanwhile, Mune struggles to maneuver the Temple of the Moon, and Necross sends Mox and his partner Spleen to steal the Sun. As a result, night falls across the land and Mune is banished from his people.
Mune and Sohone both set out on a quest to find the vanished Sun, accompanied by a young wax girl named Glim. Thanks to her knowledge of astronomy and the ancient stories of how the world came together, the group is able to pass the Great Blue Hole, a lake under which the great abyss opens that leads to the depths of the world. Mune watches over Glim since she could freeze and break in the cold water. While underwater, the group meets Phospho, a failed previous Guardian of the Moon from the same generation as Necross, but, due to his cowardice, he give up his position after he failed to stop Necross instead of Xolal. He wakes Glim up using his power and leads them to the entrance of the underworld, where Necross lives.


Mune and Sohone set out to find the vanished Sun, with the wax girl Glim accompanying them. While in the Great Blue Hole, a lake containing an entrance to the depths of the world, the group meets Phospho, a former Guardian of the Moon from the same generation as Necross who gave up his position after failing to stop him. He leads them to the entrance of the Underworld before leaving.

Meanwhile, Leeyoon takes Mune's place in the temple of the Moon, but he can't control it. The Moon wanes and crumbles into dust, causing the temple to go mad and start galloping everywhere. It ends up in the underworld where Mune, Sohone and Glim are. Mune, accompanied by Glim, takes care of the Moon while Sohone dives into the underworld to recover the Sun. Mune figures out that he can calm the temple of the Moon by using his magic glitter powers, inspiring Phospho, who had watched from afar. Leeyoon admits to him that the Moon is lost, but Mune and Glim go into the moon quarry of the world of dreams, that Yule inform Mune about before he passed away, to carve a new crescent like the first Guardian of the Moon did before. As the new Moon is ready but could not shine without the Sun, while Mune, who had tested his powers against nightmares, and Glim developed feelings for each other. A guilt-ridden Leeyoon then apologizing to Mune for his actions, recognizing him as the true Guardian of the Moon.

Meanwhile, Leeyoon takes Mune's place in the Temple of the Moon, but is unable to control it. The Moon wanes and crumbles, causing the Temple to go out of control and fall into the Underworld, where Mune, Sohone and Glim are. Mune and Glim take care of the Moon while Sohone dives into the Underworld to recover the Sun. Mune figures out that he can calm the Temple of the Moon by using his powers, inspiring Phospho, who had watched from afar. Leeyoon admits to him that the Moon is lost, but Mune and Glim go into the Moon Quarry, which Yule had informed Mune of before dying, to create a new moon. Mune and Glim develop feelings for each other as Leeyoon apologizes to Mune, recognizing him as the true Guardian of the Moon.
With this task done, Mune and Glim rejoin Sohone in the world of darkness. During this time, Sohone is surrounded by a mass of pale snakes who taunt and provoke him, trying to make him go mad with hatred. Sohone is saved by Phospho's intervention, who sacrifices himself to calm and free Sohone, destroying the snake wall in the process. Sohone, Mune and Glim then confront Necross and his imps. Sohone goes against Necross, but doesn't manage to weaken him. Mune finally gets rid of Mox, while Spleen failed with Glim due to his harmless nature. Glim finds the Sun and blows on it to revive its fire, but that causes her to melt. As Glim in her last breath encourages him of how powerful are his powers and that he can defeat Necross, a heartbroken Mune sobs over Glim's sacrifice. As Necross is about to crush Mune and Sohone, the Sun and the Moon, now together, shines and empowering Mune and Sohone’s powers, stopping Necross from crushing them with Sohone’s strength. Then Mune uses his Dream powers to defeat Necross and realises that Necross was being influenced by a pale snake, which he then pulls out and destroys. Necross regains the Guardian of the Sun appearance he had before getting corrupted by greed, then turns to stone, passing into eternal sleep in harmony, while the underworld changes into a paradise too, along with a despondent Mox and a happy Spleen.


With the task done, Mune and Glim rejoin Sohone in the World of Darkness and find him surrounded by Pale Snakes attempting to corrupt him. However, Phospho intervenes and sacrifices himself to rescue Sohone and destroy the Snakes. Sohone, Mune and Glim confront Necross and his Imps while Glim finds and revives the Sun, melting in the process. As Necross is about to crush Mune and Sohone, the Sun and the Moon unite and empower them. After Mune uses his Dream powers to defeat Necross by putting him to sleep, Mune realizes that a Pale Snake was influencing Necross and destroys it. This restores him to his original appearance and transforms him into a statue as the Underworld becomes a paradise.
The defeat of Necross leads to peace for the world, and the two young Guardians are able to resume the normal trajectories of their temples. Mune also re-sculpts Glim, and the combined energy of the sun and moon at daybreak with Glim's held fragment of the moon revives her, and give her wax the ability to not melt, freeze, or crack whatever if it is day or night. Mune and Glim meet up and kiss, before going around the world on the temple of the Moon.


Afterwards, the two Guardians restore the normal trajectories of the Sun, the Moon, and their Temples. With help from the Sun and Moon’s power, Mune revives Glim and gives her the ability to maintain her body regardless of temperature. Mune and Glim meet up and kiss before going around the world on the Temple of the Moon.

The original idea of the film was born with a project from writer Benoît Philippon, who planned to start a short live action film in an atmosphere inspired by [[Terry Gilliam]] movies: the story of a character who lives in a forest and wins the Moon, spearing it with a rope. The project soon proved to be unfeasible in a short format and Benoît Philippon started to turn it into a feature film project. He developed and created a more complex poetic universe with its own [[cosmogony]] and different inhabitants related to the Sun and the Moon.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://medias.unifrance.org/medias/51/64/147507/presse/mune-le-gardien-de-la-lune-dossier-de-presse-francais.pdf|title=Mune press kit with Beonit Philippon|last=|first=|date=|website=|publisher=|access-date=}}</ref> The universe further formed with the contribution of Nicolas Marlet who designed the characters, and Aurelian Prédal, artistic director of the film. The human characters were designed as hybrids between human beings, animals and various materials. Mune is a woodland creature with fur and is related to the night; his shy and taciturn nature is inspired by the main character of Tim Burton's ''[[Edward Scissorhands]]'' film. Sohone is linked to the Sun and his body is made from amber; his "big mouth" personality is inspired by characters like [[Buzz Lightyear]] from Pixar's animated film ''[[Toy Story]]'' or [[Han Solo]] from ''[[Star Wars]]''. Glim is made from wax which makes her fragile and endangered when she is exposed to sunlight, but it is an opportunity to show a character with a disability, struggling to compensate for it with her courage. The lord of evil Necross with his two imps, Mox and Spleen, are volcanoes, giving opportunity to work on lava and soot textures.<ref name=":0" /> The script was co-written by Benoît Philippon and Jerome Fansten. He knows of several rewrites, including changes that were made while writing the storyboard for the visual development of the film that saw the birth of new ideas, including that of the mobile temples in the world of Mune. The stakes of the plot, defined very early, was the idea of characters going in search of the Sun like a Holy Grail. The challenge of the project was to develop a classic film understandable by a wide audience, including younger people, without sacrificing originality and the poetry of the world designed for Mune.<ref name=":0" /> The film was directed mainly in CGI, except for some scenes about the past of the planet and those occurring in the world of dreams, which are made in 2D animation.

During its release in France in October, 2015 ''Mune: Guardian of the Moon'' was well received by press critics. The main recognised qualities of the film are its aesthetics and its world, the latter considered poetic and original. In the French free daily ''20 Minutes'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.20minutes.fr/cinema/1707719-20151014-mune-gardien-lune-histoire-magique-animee|title="Mune, le gardien de la lune": Une histoire magique et animée|website=20minutes.fr|access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref> Caroline Vié speaks of "extraordinary aesthetics" and she believes that the film "surprises people constantly with its inventiveness." In ''Première'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.premiere.fr/film/Mune-le-Gardien-de-la-Lune/critiques|title=Mune : le Gardien de la Lune : Critiques {{!}} Films {{!}} Premiere.fr|website=www.premiere.fr|access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref> Christopher Narbinne speaks about an "inventive artistic direction" and about "unique character designs". In ''L'Express'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lexpress.fr/culture/cinema/mune-le-gardien-de-la-lune-magnifique-et-touchant_1725330.html|title=Mune, le gardien de la Lune, magnifique et touchant|website=LExpress.fr|date=14 October 2015|access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref> Eric Libiot maintains that the film is "splendid and moving" and shows that "French animation is in a really good shape" with an "ambitious" animation and a universe that "intermingles mythology, is universal and tries to remain open for all". In the women's magazine ''Elle'',<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.elle.fr/Loisirs/Cinema/Films/Mune-le-gardien-de-la-lune|title=Mune le gardien de la lune : film réalisé par Alexandre Eboyan - Elle|website=www.elle.fr|language=fr-FR|access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref> Helena Villovith judges that "the poetic quality of the characters, the richness of the setting and the mood of the dreamlike sequences do not have to pale before classics such as ''[[Toy Story]]'' or ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''." Critics are divided on the quality of the scripts: generally welcomed, it leaves some critics less convinced. In ''L'Express'', Eric Libiot judges it "beautiful and intelligent"; he describes the scenario as "romantic" and appreciates that it "escalates to a progressive film" and that "the pace of it takes its time voluntarily". In ''Le Dauphiné Libéré'',<ref name="AlloCine">{{Cite web|url=http://www.allocine.fr/film/fichefilm-227216/critiques/presse/|title=Mune, le gardien de la lune: Les critiques presse|last=AlloCine|website=AlloCiné|access-date=2016-03-09}}</ref> Jean Serroy believes that it is all "very inventive in terms of characters and adventures, perfect for a family viewing".

Plot

[edit]

On a small planet whose inhabitants are made of natural materials, the first Guardians brought a small Sun and Moon to bring light to the world and preserve its harmony, traveling in colossal temple-like animals. In the present, despite their differences, the people of the day and night live in peace. However, Necross, a corrupted Guardian of the Sun who previously tried to steal the Sun before being defeated by the warrior Xolal and banished to the Underworld, awaits the opportunity to plunge the world into darkness.

In the present day, apprentice Guardians Sohone and Leeyoon prepare to take on the roles of Guardians of the Sun and Moon from Xolal and Yule. On the day of their induction, the light of the Sun accepts Sohone as planned, but the lunar Ewe chooses Mune, a young, inexperienced Faun boy, over Leeyoon.

After his imp servant Mox informs him of Xolal's retirement, Necross sees an opportunity to steal the Sun again. After the ceremony, Xolal and Yule teach their respective successors how to operate their Temples before dying, respectively becoming a statue and glowing tree. The following night, Necross sends Pale Snakes to corrupt Leeyoon and pit Sohone against Mune. Meanwhile, Mune struggles to maneuver the Temple of the Moon, and Necross sends Mox and his partner Spleen to steal the Sun. As a result, night falls across the land and Mune is banished from his people.

Mune and Sohone set out to find the vanished Sun, with the wax girl Glim accompanying them. While in the Great Blue Hole, a lake containing an entrance to the depths of the world, the group meets Phospho, a former Guardian of the Moon from the same generation as Necross who gave up his position after failing to stop him. He leads them to the entrance of the Underworld before leaving.

Meanwhile, Leeyoon takes Mune's place in the Temple of the Moon, but is unable to control it. The Moon wanes and crumbles, causing the Temple to go out of control and fall into the Underworld, where Mune, Sohone and Glim are. Mune and Glim take care of the Moon while Sohone dives into the Underworld to recover the Sun. Mune figures out that he can calm the Temple of the Moon by using his powers, inspiring Phospho, who had watched from afar. Leeyoon admits to him that the Moon is lost, but Mune and Glim go into the Moon Quarry, which Yule had informed Mune of before dying, to create a new moon. Mune and Glim develop feelings for each other as Leeyoon apologizes to Mune, recognizing him as the true Guardian of the Moon.

With the task done, Mune and Glim rejoin Sohone in the World of Darkness and find him surrounded by Pale Snakes attempting to corrupt him. However, Phospho intervenes and sacrifices himself to rescue Sohone and destroy the Snakes. Sohone, Mune and Glim confront Necross and his Imps while Glim finds and revives the Sun, melting in the process. As Necross is about to crush Mune and Sohone, the Sun and the Moon unite and empower them. After Mune uses his Dream powers to defeat Necross by putting him to sleep, Mune realizes that a Pale Snake was influencing Necross and destroys it. This restores him to his original appearance and transforms him into a statue as the Underworld becomes a paradise.

Afterwards, the two Guardians restore the normal trajectories of the Sun, the Moon, and their Temples. With help from the Sun and Moon’s power, Mune revives Glim and gives her the ability to maintain her body regardless of temperature. Mune and Glim meet up and kiss before going around the world on the Temple of the Moon.

Production

[edit]

The original idea of the film was born from a project from writer Benoît Philippon, who planned to start a short live-action film in an atmosphere inspired by Terry Gilliam films that would tell the story of a character who lives in a forest and wins the Moon after spearing it with a rope. The project soon proved to be unfeasible in a short format, and so Philippon began turning it into a feature film project. He developed and created an original universe with its cosmogony and inhabitants related to the Sun and the Moon.[4] The universe further formed with the contributions of Nicolas Marlet, who designed the characters, and Aurelian Prédal, who was the film's artistic director. The human characters were designed as hybrids between human beings, animals, and various materials. Mune is a woodland creature with fur and is related to the night; his shy and taciturn nature is inspired by the main character of Edward Scissorhands. Sohone is linked to the Sun and his body is made from amber; his "big mouth" personality is inspired by characters like Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story and Han Solo from Star Wars. Glim is made from wax, which makes her fragile and endangered when exposed to sunlight, but through this the film is able to show a character with a disability who succeeds through her courage. Necross and his two imps, Mox and Spleen, are volcanoes, giving the film's crew the opportunity to work with lava and soot textures.[4] The script was co-written by Benoît Philippon and Jerome Fansten. The film underwent several rewrites, including changes that were made while writing the storyboard for its visual development, which saw the birth of new ideas, including the mobile temples. The stakes of the plot were defined early on, being the idea of characters searching for the Sun, which was like a Holy Grail. The challenge of the project was to develop a classic film that would be understandable by a wide audience, including younger people, without sacrificing originality and the poetry of the world.[4] The film was directed mainly in CGI, except for scenes depicting the planet's past and those taking place in the world of dreams, which were done using 2D animation.

Music and soundtrack

[edit]

The film’s original music was composed and orchestrated by Bruno Coulais, who was also the composer of Coraline and Song of the Sea. The soundtrack, which was released on October 16, 2015, contains “Happy” written and performed by C2C and Derek Martin.

Release

[edit]

The film premiered in France at Forum des images on 6 December 2014 and in North America at the New York International Children's Film Festival on 14 March 2015. The film was part of the official selection at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in 2015.

The film was released in cinemas in France on 14 October 2015 by Paramount Pictures.

In France on the day of its release, Wednesday, October 14, 2015, Mune: Guardian of the Moon did relatively well in Paris, with a startup to 457 entries on 14 screens where it was being shown, ranking fifth among films released that day. In its first week, the film had 128, 279 entries. By the end of 2015, Mune: Guardian of the Moon had a combined total of 524,000 entries and was one of 100 French films that attracted the most viewers in 2015.

In the United States, GKIDS released the film to theaters for a one-day only event on August 12, 2017. In contrast to the original dub, their release redubbed some of the voices with Rob Lowe, Christian Slater, Patton Oswalt, Ed Helms and Jeff Dunham.[5] It had a home video release on September 26, 2017 by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.[6]

Reception

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 80% of 5 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.30/10.[7]

During its release in France in October 2015, Mune: Guardian of the Moon was well received by press critics. The main recognised qualities of the film are its aesthetics and its world, the latter considered poetic and original. In the French free daily 20 Minutes,[8] Caroline Vié speaks of "extraordinary aesthetics" and she believes that the film "surprises people constantly with its inventiveness." In Première,[9] Christopher Narbinne speaks about an "inventive artistic direction" and about "unique character designs". In L'Express,[10] Eric Libiot maintains that the film is "splendid and moving" and shows that "French animation is in a really good shape" with an "ambitious" animation and a universe that "intermingles mythology, is universal and tries to remain open for all". In the women's magazine Elle,[11] Helena Villovith judges that "the poetic quality of the characters, the richness of the setting and the mood of the dreamlike sequences do not have to pale before classics such as Toy Story or Princess Mononoke." Critics are divided on the quality of the scripts: generally welcomed, it leaves some critics less convinced. In L'Express, Eric Libiot judges it "beautiful and intelligent"; he describes the scenario as "romantic" and appreciates that it "escalates to a progressive film" and that "the pace of it takes its time voluntarily". In Le Dauphiné Libéré,[12] Jean Serroy believes that it is all "very inventive in terms of characters and adventures, perfect for a family viewing". In Le Journal du dimanche,[12] Barbara Théate saw the film as a "story for toddlers, rich with wacky characters and fun twists". It is "an original work with sophistication" according to Philippe Lauguche from Quest France.[12] The Télérama magazine considers it "magical and terrifically effective" under the pen of Guillemette Odicino, who recognises various influences: the faun Mune reminds him of the world of Luc Besson, Glim that of Tim Burton, while the marvelous creatures remind him of the films of Hayao Miyazaki and the paintings of Salvador Dalí.[13] In the film magazine Première, Christophe Narbonne recognises a certain poetry to the film, but finds the scenario "very formal" and he thinks that it does not live up to its aesthetics.[14] In her review for Elle, Helena Villovitch regrets that "the only girl's role is decorative, fluttering her eyelashes and admiring the prowess of males who get promoted to positions of responsibility. Still, she's the one we love the most!"[15]

The film was submitted as one of the 27 animated feature films in consideration for the Best Animated Feature for the 89th Academy Awards.[16]
