Mune: Guardian of the Moon is a 2014 film.
Plot[edit][]
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, in the Underworld, Necross, a failed, corrupted Guardian of the Sun who has once enviously 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.
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 elderly 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 in their respective movable Temples, 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 in the Underworld. 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.
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, before he leaves.
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.
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, like what happened to Necross. 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 her 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 by putting him to sleep. In the World of Dreams, Mune realizes 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 into stone in the real world, passing into eternal sleep in harmony, while the Underworld changes into a paradise too, along with a despondent Mox and a happy Spleen being both flowered.
The defeat of Necross leads to peace for the world, and the two young Guardians are able to resume the normal trajectories of the Sun, the Moon and 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, gifted by Mune, 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.
