History WesternAnimation / KaenaTheProphecy

* CameraScrew: We get to see through a marauder's eyes when Voxem controls it to kill Kaena. When she cuts its antenna, the vision noticeably deteriorates, presumably indicating that Voxem can't see that well anymore. [[spoiler:Because of this, it is easy for Kaena to lead marauders under Voxem's control off the cliff]].

* ALongTimeAgoInAGalaxyFarFarAway: It deals with aliens on another planet with no humans or Earth.

* {{Irony}}: The human dwellers think Selenites are Gods that created them and protect them, when in fact it was [[spoiler:Vecanoi that created them, presumably to pass its knowledge to them, while Selenites are trying to destroy it, which results in plantquakes that threaten the humans and killed Kaena's parents.]]

* [[spoiler:LastOfHisKind: Not counting the Vecanoi, Opaz is the last survivor of Vecarians.]]

'''''Kaena: The Prophecy''''' (also known as ''Kaena: La prophétie'') is a [[AllCGICartoon 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 [[ParentalAbandonment orphaned]] woman, lives with a small tribe on a [[WorldTree 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 [[GodGuise gods]], she explores the world around and brings back stories that clash with the common beliefs. [[AdultsAreUseless Nobody but the kids]] believe her, to the point of being called a heretic. Guided by a [[PsychicDreamsForEveryone 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.

* GodGuise: Selenites, who, while exhibiting some powers that are out of human capacities, are not gods.

* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Just how those two planets can coexist so close one to another without colliding? [[RuleOfCool It does make the setting interesting, though.]]

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: [[spoiler: The humans fully developed in '600 years' and even Axis had to grow during some time. There may be some influence from Vecanoi but it is still just weird.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: [[spoiler: Right after escaping Opaz' spaceship, Kaena almost falls of the [[WorldTree Axis]], only grabbing by its last leaf. Then the camera pans out showing that she is basically ''in space between two planets'', yet she has no trouble breathing at all.]]
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Vecanoi successfully passes its knowledge to Kaena, meaning she can now lead her people to advance without relying on [[GodGuise Gods]]. However, it is destroyed in process, dooming Axis as well, and Opaz is killed, which means Vecarians are now extinct.]]
* BizarreAlienReproduction: Selenites, combined with an unhealthy dose of {{Squick}}. [[spoiler: Only queen seems to be capable to produce successors, and for it she needs to ''literally merge'' with a male, and after that she immensely blows for few minutes before imploding as next generation rushes out of her.]]

* CameraScrew: We get to see through marauder's eyes when Voxem controls it to kill Kaena. When she cuts its antenna, the vision noticeably deteriorates, presumably indicating that Voxem can't see that well anymore. [[spoiler: Because of this, it is easy for Kaena to lead marauder under Voxem's control off the cliff]].
* ChainmailBikini: Kaena's clothes of choice. Even the sentient worms that craft her replacement armor are seen examining her crotch piece with much confusion.
* ChekhovsGun: The capsule you can see at the beginning of the movie just right after the Vecarian ship explodes is [[spoiler: the capsule holding not-yet-born Opaz]].

* CommonplaceRare: Metal objects in general. Justified since humans live in a WorldTree, where there isn't any metal or potential source of it, so when Kaena stumbles upon steel knife, she is visibly impressed by it.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler: The Vecanoi is last seen falling into great chasm. Marauder too.]]
* FantasticRacism: Human really picked the short straw in this movie. They are ostracized by Selenites (who see them as a slaves and an anomaly), Gommy the sentient worm (he gets better) and even Opaz (who explicitly says he didn't care about them because he thought they are too primitive).
* GodGuise: Selenites, who while exhibiting some powers that are out of human capacities are not gods.

* HumansAreSpecial: [[spoiler: They're created by Vecanoi.]]
* {{Irony}}: The human dwellers are thinking Selenites are Gods that created them and protect them, when in fact it was [[spoiler: Vecanoi that created them, presumably to pass its knowledge to them, while Selenites are trying to destroy it, which results in plantquakes that threaten the humans and killed Kaena's parents.]]
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: One unfortunate fellow that Kaena sees being the victim of SpikesOfDoom when they levitate through the tunnel to Selenite planet.]]
* ImportedAlienPhlebotinum: [[spoiler: Vecanoi, the alien computer.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: The Selenite race in 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 attemping to [[spoiler: 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.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Gommy won't hesitate to tell you about how superior he is over you, but he won't hesitate to help you either when in trouble.
* [[spoiler: LastOfHisKind: Not counting the Vecanoi, Opaz is the last survivor of Vecarians.]]

** Once Vecarian ship is down, we can see ''something'' is killing the survivors, but besides the waves of sap, there is not much to see.

* ParentalAbandonment: Kaena's parents were killed by a [[strike: earth]]plantquake.
* PowerArmor: Gommy, Assad and other sentient worms are seen wearing some kind of exoskeleton. It seems to be mind-controlled and allows them to perform manual tasks, faster movement and flight. It comes also equipped with an arc wielder.
* PsychicLink: 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 [[spoiler: Vecanoi]] share one due to [[spoiler: Vecanoi choosing Kaena to pass its knowledge to her]]. Selenites, specifically Voxem can also use this to control marauder and see through its eyes.
* SentientPhlebotinum: [[spoiler: Vecanoi.]]

* ThreateningShark: ''Flying'' shark even. It is first thing that tries to kill Kaena in the movie [[spoiler: and later it snacks on [[RedShirt Zumo the sentient worm]] as Kaena, Opaz and their pals make their way toward Vecanoi]].
* TimeSkip: The ship crash in Prologue takes place 600 years before the rest of the movie.

* ChekovsGun: The capsule you can see at the beginning of the movie just right after the Vecarian ship explodes is [[spoiler: the capsule holding not-yet-born Opaz]].

* NothingIsScarier: 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.
