In a world destroyed in a war between man and machine, a hand-stitched doll with the number 9 written on its back comes to life. The world he has awakened in is frightening, but he quickly learns that he is not alone and that there are others like him, also with a single digit written on their back. The first one he encounters is 2 who tells him something of what happened to the world. 2 is also thrilled with the disk 9 is carrying, one with three unique symbols on the front. 9 soon learns that the disk and some of the other dolls who are prepared to die for the good of humankind may be the last hope for man's salvation.Written by

I thought that this movie was a good movie. Even though this is an animated movie, it's designed for adults more than kids. In fact, I read that this is the fourth computer animated movie to receive a PG-13 rating. But let me tell you something, the visuals are absolutely amazing. I liked the way how the movie portrayed the post apocalyptic world.
The story is about a group of ragtag dolls who must work together to save their comrades from machines that destroyed the humans. This is a great story, but it needs some work. That's the weak point of the movie.
I am actually happy that Focus Features made a film like this because I liked the eleven minute short that was nominated for an Academy Award. Overall, this is a visually-stunning film that needs some script work. I rate this film 8/10.
