 Kaena: The Prophecy
comment
Kaena: The Prophecy (also known as Kaena: La prophétie) is a computer animated film created in French-Canadian coproduction. It opens with a giant spaceship of the alien race crashing upon the unknown planet. Six hundred years later, Kaena, the titular young orphaned woman, lives with a small tribe on a humongous plant called Axis, grown from the remains of said spaceship. While all her kin works hard to collect sap, which is demanded by their gods, she explores the world around and brings back stories that clash with the common beliefs. Nobody but the kids believe her, to the point of being called a heretic. Guided by a recurring dream of a blue sun, she wanders even further from the village, where she is attacked by a monster - and rescued by an alien who reveals to her the truth about her world, the gods and the blue sun she sees in her dreams.

All There in the Manual: The last Selenite male is called by credits as Voxem, but his name isn't said anywhere in the movie. The name of their entire race is rather easy to miss since it is said once in whole movie.

Bittersweet Ending: Vecanoi successfully passes its knowledge to Kaena, meaning she can now lead her people to advance without relying on Gods. However, it is destroyed in the process, dooming Axis as well, and Opaz is killed, which means Vecarians are now extinct.

Fantastic Racism: Humans really picked the short straw in this movie. They are ostracized by Selenites (who see them as slaves and an anomaly), Gommy the sapient worm (he gets better) and even Opaz (who explicitly says he didn't care about them because he thought they are too primitive).

Bizarre Alien Reproduction: Selenites, combined with an unhealthy dose of Squick. Only the queen seems to be capable of producing successors, and for it, she needs to literally merge with a male, and after that, she immensely expands for few minutes before imploding as next the generation rushes out of her.

Psychic Link: Running theme of the movie. At the start, one surviving Vecarian seemingly orders Vecanoi to close itself, thus shielding itself from potential attacks, by giving him mental orders. Kaena and Vecanoi share one due to Vecanoi choosing Kaena to pass its knowledge to her. Selenites, specifically Voxem can also use this to control marauder and see through its eyes.

Nothing Is Scarier: Once the Vecarian ship is down, we can see something is killing the survivors, but besides the waves of sap, there is not much to see. The first time marauder attacks it is covered by cloud of dust. Downplayed, since its statue from hardened sap can be seem before that moment.

Jerkass: The Selenite race as a whole looks like this. The first thing they do to Vecarian survivors after they crash on their planet is to kill them all with exception of Vecanoi that they can't touch due to its protective skeleton. Then they exploit humans while pretending to be their gods when in fact they're attempting to destroy their true creator, which also results in destructive plantquakes. Though, to be fair, at that moment, it is stated that they're merely desperate to survive.
