What happens

Kaena: The Prophecy (French: Kaena: La prophétie) is a 2003 French adult animated fantasy adventure film produced by Xilam. Chris Delaporte started work on the film in 1995 after leaving at Éric Chahi's company Amazing Studio halfway through development of the Studio's only game Heart of Darkness. Originally intended as a video game, the project spun off into a multimedia project. Kaena was released theatrically in France by BAC Films on June 4, 2003, and was later dubbed into English, with Columbia TriStar Pictures handling US distribution through Destination Films. The English dub features the voices of Kirsten Dunst, Richard Harris (in his last role before his death), Anjelica Huston, Keith David and Ciara Janson. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized its story, although its animation was praised. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
