'9' is an Oscar nominated short by Shane Acker, soon to be adapted to a feature length movie produced by Tim Burton, with the voice work of Christopher Plummer, Martin Landau, Elijah Wood and John C. Reilly. The storyline for the short is about a rag doll creature that fights a monster that has stolen the rest of his people's souls. Although you can view high-quality Quicktime trailers for this short here, unfortunately at this time the only full version is a low-quality Flash version here, but will give you an idea as to how cool this movie may turn out to be. While you're at Shane Acker's site, be sure to check out his Mr. Grenade. And although it gave me a good belly-laugh, I do not suggest you watch his animaion called The Hangnail if you're at all squeemish. Enjoy!
