An action-packed adventure, director Shane Acker's animated fantasy epic 9 is the feature-length expansion of his Academy Award-nominated 2004 short film of the same name. The screenplay for the feature is by Pamela Pettler (Monster House); directors Tim Burton (Beetlejuice) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) are producing. Set in the near future. The world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest - decimating the human population. But as our world falls to pieces, a mission begins to salvage the legacy of civilization, and a group of small "stitchpunk" creations is given the spark of life by a scientist - and they successfully survive the apocalypse! With their group being so small, these creatures must summon individual strengths well beyond their own proportions in order to outwit and fight against the still-functioning monster machines. 9 dynamically explores the will to live and how one soul can change the world.

Tim tastic !
All I need to write here is it's a "Tim Burton film" and that should be enough to let you know this is going to be a really good movie, but I will elaborate just a little in a bid to help .... Most animated movies these days are feel good family movies and it make a refreshing change to see ones that aren't. Resembling the plot of the matrix, 9 is set in a post apocalyptic world, on a landscape that is a baron wasteland ruled by machines. But instead of man being charged with saving the planet, this time we have sewn sack cloth puppets created by a mad scientist, and each given an individual number which is stamped on their back, hence the name of the movie as no.9 is played by Elijah Wood. This movie is a dark, moody tale of hope, fear and friendship and well worth watching. Just one word of warning, it is a PG but younger chidren might find it a little scary especially if they didnt like Coraline.
