Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaShane Acker first made 9 (2009) as a ten minute short film while he was still at UCLA. It was nominated for Best Animated Short at the Oscars, and although it didn't win, Acker was offered the chance to expand it into a feature film. It follows the same basic plot, but more characters have been added, they have the ability to talk now, and the reason for the world's destruction is explained in more detail.
- GoofsOnce 2 places the voice box into 9, the zipper remains open. However, in the next shot, 9's zipper is closed. The following shot has the zipper open again. 9 is later shown zipping his zipper closed.
- Crazy creditsSome of the end credits emerge from 9's talisman.
- Alternate versionsIn the Russian dubbed version, the dolls represent the people in the Scientist's life instead of the American version where they represent his personality. 1 being the dictator, 2 being his lab assistant, 3 and 4 being the Scientist's twin children, 5 being the field doctor who saved the Scientist's life during the rise of the robots, 6 being the engineer who activated the robot, 7 being the Scientist's wife, 8 being the Chancellor's bodyguard, and 9 representing the Scientist himself.

Featured review
Animation for adults
"9" is an animated movie aimed at an adult audience. That's not to say it is filled with sex, nudity, and bad language - it has none of that stuff. Instead, it is an animated movie for adult minds - with stuff you don't see in a family animated movie. It is often downbeat in nature, it unfolds at a slower pace, there are deaths (at least I think they can be called deaths), and the colors are dark instead of being bright. So most (not all, but most) kids will probably be turned off by it. However, more mature children and their parents will enjoy it. The story slowly unfolds at a pace that will keep you curious as to what the explanations for things will turn out to be, each of the characters are unique instead of being all alike a la Ninja Turtles, and the animation is very good. There are a few plot holes that come up, mostly when the movie is over and you think about it, but the movie is still an enjoyable and unique experience.
