Review of 9

9 (2005)
7/10
The soul of the doll
30 September 2017
9 is a visually creative short animation by Shane Acker. It was nominated for a best animated short Oscar and later Acker got funding to release a feature length version.

There is no dialogue so the story is hard to fathom. There are two ragdoll type creatures. One of them is designated the 9th one left alone when the other one perishes and loses its soul to a mechanical type monster.

9 has to find a way to defeat the monster and ends up releasing the souls devoured by this monster.

The short animation has a post apocalyptic Gothic steampunk style, it is very well lit and clearly a labour of love.
