I had high expectations of this, especially after seeing the original short by Shane Ackner of the same name, in which this movie was inspired. However, the results ends being just adequate.

These movies, despite being a small production, have an excellent animation and a great atmosphere: Shane Ackner creates a unique, fascinating, world. Also the whole cast make a great work with every single one of the characters. Too bad that the story was filled with a lot of silly, stupid clichés, that only ruin the interesting parts of the story: Here you have the "Chosen One" that have to save the world, the boring, invincible villain that never and the plain, one dimensional characters that only appear to be killed.

Despite that, I liked this film. Even when it is completely predictable, it still is very funny to watch, mostly because of the animation and the atmosphere. The character design was pretty good too. Even when "9" wasn't so good as films as "Coraline" it still a decent, entertaining film. But it could have been way better.
