Jason Best Movie Talk Get your head around the film's slightly convoluted mythology and you will be rewarded with an engaging adventure. Rated: 3/5 Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Rachel Wagner Rotoscopers The animation in Mune: Guardian of the Moon is absolutely stunning. Rated: 3.5/5 Feb 6, 2019 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) 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. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 28, 2017 Full Review Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media Original animated fantasy has a few frightening elements. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2017 Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 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.

Olivia S My all-time FAVORITE animated movie. It's an absolute treat for the eyes, especially for fellow artists!!! The designs are beautiful, the animation is beautiful and the story and world are intriguing. There are some beautiful scenes of 2D animation that really make it special. It makes me so sad that this movie is so unknown and didn't do well at the box office. This movie deserved so much more than it received Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/05/25 Full Review Dimitris T Although quite predictable in terms of plot, this film shows some interesting character development coupled with beautiful worldbuilding and awe-inspiring design and animation. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Kesava Dharshan The creative story-line is really amazing, animations are way futuristic for the year it was made. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Bonnie H Beautiful and heavily underrated!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/02/23 Full Review Audience Member While the characters are fairly cliched and some of the dialogue is a bit cringey which I'm not sure is entirely the fault of the English dub or was already present in the original script but Mune: Guardian of the Moon stands out thanks to its gorgeous art direction, striking character designs, fairly good voice acting in the dub and imaginative world-building making it a fun fantasy adventure in its own right, even if, at the cost of parroting another review, it doesn't have the same depth as either Kung Fu Panda or How to Train Your Dragon. An imaginative film that, like Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart, gives me further appreciation for French animation. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A beautiful, whimsical, tour de force that fits right into the vain of stories like Disney's Hercules. Though amazingly cute, the story has its share of tragedy and darkness. The world is original and well thought out. Easy to watch several times. There are several versions of this movies English dubs though, originally french, Netflix did a re-dub when they added it onto their streaming service despite having been dubbed into English already. The Netflix Dub, simply isn't as good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
