Apparently human ambition and a power-hungry military will lead to doomsday technology that can and does destroy all life. All except for the ragdolls created by one now-deceased scientist to preserve the human spirit. The situation is more than grim; it is nightmarish. We "awake" with 9 to a world littered with dead humans still covered with flesh (so the holocaust isn't long past). We learn with 9 that the only "beings" in this world are ragdolls, robots and other creations of technology. The message seems to be both a warning of apocalyptic horrors awaiting us and a celebration of the triumph of the human spirit (unfortunately with the actual human). I admired the heroic ragdolls who embodied much of what's best about humanity. They forgave one another's mistakes and shortcomings, tolerated differences, repaired one another's injuries, saved one another from destruction, and, in the end, sacrificed so that other's could live. Adorable heroes, horrible villains (the machines), nearly non-stop violence and bloodless death on a bleak landscape of urban ruin. And, in the end, we're left in a ragdoll world without hope of any real life. Bit of a downer.

This is a good film. Good visuals, good action... but that's it. The most dangerous problem here is the plot holes. You could literally fall into the plot holes becuase they're so big. That's all I have to say about this short, poorly-written film. Thanks for reading. -Movie Man

I give this movie props in the first place for just showing us that animated 3d movies don't all have to be about cute characters dancing around in happy situations. This movie's dark, gritty, and solemn tone is refreshing to see, and yet it is still appropriate for most preteens. However, being a dark movie, it's ending is not exactly the happiest, and some younger preteens might be confused by its complex post-apocalyptic setting. Action is bloodless, but the few corpse shown have a creepy realistic look to them, and some of the robots have frightening shrieks and looks as well. The worst the violence gets to is a man being gunned down by a machine gun, but you only see the body fall to the ground. Most characters still manage to have a little cute quality to them, and are lovable throughout the short movie. However, remember this is not a "happy" film, you will probably enjoy it, but the ending might just leave you with tears if your a sensitive type. All in all, I absolutely loved it. Not perfect, as the plot feels a bit rushed, but good enough to be one of my favorites. A must for those 11 and up who want some action in an animated movie.

This movie has many intense/frightening scenes. I would not recommend this movie for younger children. However, there is nothing wrong with the movie besides that.

This is a wonderful movie which follows the tale of a character called 9. He wakes up to find a bleak world full of death, finding comfort in others like himself. They work together to try to save themselves from the evil of the world. Characters are resourceful and care for one another. There are some scary characters and death throughout, but for even young teens that aren't easily scared, The story is a little weak, I'll admit, but it was very visually pleasing.

This was an enjoyable movie. Not one you or the kids will see again and again, but the story line is good and the characters are interesting. The ending could be stronger and they could have explored some of the other characters more deeply (like "2" is actually more interesting that "9"). There are a few scenes that show the death of the humans, but the images are not show any blood or gore and are almost a bit comic book since this is computer animated. I recommend it for 10 years and older.

Cool and amazing but violent for only 8 and up any 12 are you crazy for soul taking on little dolls totally sutabel for 8 and up

Intense Violence throughout the movie but nothing else thats a problem. So if your 11 year old isnt affected by violence its on, but if he gets nightmares from Tim Burton movies, its off, and like most Tim Burton movies, a very negative message.
