9 (2005)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Simply A Masterpiece

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Wow This Is Simply Stunning. The Visuals Are Great. Its On Youtube If Anyone Is Interested But It's Also With The 9 DVD That Came Out In 2009 Wow Shane Acker Is A Visionary Like Joss Whedon. This Is Simply The Best Short Film Ever But What Follows Is 'Bambi Meets Godzilla' This Is Stunning. This Was Also Made Into A Feature Length Movie Starring Elijah Wood, Christopher Plummer, John C. Riley & Jennifer Connelly. The Acting Is...There Is None. The Animation Is Great. Yes It Is A Little Bizarre But What Do You Expect From A Visionary.I Think Both 9 Films Are Great But The 2009 One's Better But This Is Great Little Movie Just Think This Movie Is Also My Rating For It Also.

Shane Acker's original film that was the basis of the now big budget animated film. Running some 10 minutes the film concerns 9's battle with a patchwork monster that has been stealing the souls of his brethren. Its silent except for sound effects and its clear why Tim Burton produced a feature film version since the film is full of possibilities. As it stands now its a tightly paced beautiful to look at film. Its the best sort of film in that its reality bleeds off the screen and you very easily believe this is a real place and really happening. Acker's animation is extremely masterful. Watch the little motions of 9's body as he moves. There are small touches, gestures, shifts of weight that demolish any notion that we are watching anything other than real being. A small masterpiece. See this if you can.

A rag doll fights a monster that has been stealing the souls of his people.I saw this on you tube. Having a running time for about 10 minutes, I decided to watch this film and you know what? It was actually a fantastic and brilliant kind of "short" film. The animation is fantastic and original-looking and what I love about this film is that it's not afraid to be a dark animated film. There are some moments in here where it might be truly frightening for a child.More on animation: It looked fresh, original, and gritty. I loved it! Another great thing is that this film has NO (ZERO) - NADA - dialog but yet it still pulls off for great character development through the actions of the characters! This is just an animated film with a simple plot done in an extraordinary way. The look is fantastic and I'm sure Shane Acker will be a great animator when he makes more of these types of films. So if you have ten minutes to kill, go to you tube right now and search up "9".

This is a really fun animation, mostly because it's just so simple of a story very detailed in animation and visually exciting. I mean, for all the complicated methods of the computer animation with great lighting effects and detailed skins and movements of the characters and their effects on the environments, it's a very easy man-vs-monster story that can appeal to everyone.A ragdoll named 9, or marked 9, or the ninth ragdoll or something to that effect is tragically left alone after its partner 4 sacrifices itself to a monster that steals its soul. 9 devises a way to defeat the monster so that it will no longer torment it, and in the process discovers a way to provide closure to the souls' entrapment (the souls of 1 through 8). This is presented through actiony fantasy pretty much existing as never-before-seen.It's very enjoyable and visually amazing. The monster seems almost perfect for the environment they come from, and the characters are very well emotionally presented considering their darned faces. The plot contains no real desire to be stretched into feature length or accepted as important, just presents six minutes of about as much fun as six minutes can give.--PolarisDiB
