9 (2009)

This is an imperfect-but-creditable movie. In the near future, an invention known as the Great Machine controls the world's robots and gadgets and turns them against mankind, sparking social unrest, and decimating the human population. As a final effort to stop the destruction, a scientist creates nine tiny robotic rag dolls and puts a piece of his soul into each of them using a talisman and causing his death. As the only remaining life forms, this small group must use their talents to fight back.

The dark story wasn’t compelling and didn’t match the quality of the graphics. The trailer is more enjoyable. It was originally a short film created by Shane Acker in 2005 as a school project. He is also the director of the full length feature and Tim Burton was one of four producers.
