“9” is the acclaimed action-packed animated adventure by Shane Acker, a stunning fantasy epic short film nominated for an Academy Award in 2004. The animated short later became the 2009 feature-length movie of the same name, directed by Tim Burton. “9” presents us with a post-apocalyptic vision of the future of our human-technological civilization. The Scientist had created the B.R.A.I.N. (the Machine) for peaceful purposes. However, the “Leader of Mankind” took control of the Machine and used it to wage war on other humans. Lacking a soul, the Machine was corrupted and turned on mankind, wiping them out.

However, the Scientist had also made nine rag doll-like”creations,” in order to ensure that some form of life would carry on, and created a Talisman which could be used to destroy the Machine. The group of small rag-dolls proved to have leadership qualities that may help them survive and possibly even thrive.

This piece includes colorful illustrations, the animated short film and the trailer for the full-feature film.
