A standard collection of cliché characters (featuring Smart Girl, Awkward Boy, Arrogant Man, Sneaky Man and fearful, judgmental parents) are immersed in a kooky fairy tale world and given kooky fairy bodies. The computer graphics are passable but extra colorful, and the storyline is cobbled together from a random series of errors, without meaning or pathos. It's creepy enough to frighten sensitive children, it's freaky enough to disorient guileless children, and irrational enough to unbalance sensible children. The dreary jumble of scatterbrained and foolish scenes are not worth the effort it would take to stitch this puerile mass into a workable mythology. This movie demonstrate that dressing up a boilerplate teen movie with bizarre CGI cannot save it. This is why Pixar movies are so beloved; they drench their movies with plot. The creators of Mune, so intent on blowing the minds of kids with today's state-of-the-art CGI, skimped on plot. Thus, we are left with another forgettable art project, and as the state-of-the-art CGI advances there will be nothing of value left at all.
