9 Plot

9 is an upcoming 2008 animated film. The film is directed by Shane Acker, produced by Tim Burton and stars the voices of Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, and Martin Landau. The film is slated for a December 26, 2008 release. It is being animated partially in Luxembourg by Attitude Studio and the majority is being completed by Starz Animation in Toronto. It will be released by Focus Features.

Althought CGI, the movie will have a stylized look resembling stop motion.

9 takes place in a world parallel to our own, in which the very legacy of humanity is threatened. A community of fully mobile rag dolls living a post-apocalyptic existence find one of their own, 9 (Elijah Wood), displaying leadership qualities that may help them to survive. The conflicted but resilient community includes 1 (Christopher Plummer), a domineering war veteran; 2 (Martin Landau), an aged inventor; 5 (John C. Reilly), a stalwart mechanic; 6 (Crispin Glover), a visionary and artist; and 7 (Jennifer Connelly), a brave warrior.
