9 is a underated film but a sad one. Plus the fandom wasn’t that bad they actually came up with great theories and how the sequel would be even though the idea of the sequel got canceled.
Yes , there was a plan and if I remember correctly the sequel supposedly it was gonna be about how the remaining characters had to deal what happen after the movie and that there was gonna be a new threat. That’s all I know from what I read but I think it would’ve been to have a mini series based from the movie.
Meep I wouldn’t say 9 is forgotten. Unlike the minions, 9 has a fan base despite it only being one movie and being aired in 2009 it’s still heavily talked about same goes for coralline.
The reason why I love this film when I was a kid, is because it didn’t treat me like I was a kid, like the Batman animated series. I wish more animated kid films were like this nowadays
I think there's a big difference between children's media and child accessable media. Children's media, like you said, treats you like a kid, while child accessable media is just books/shows/movies that can be enjoyed by anyone, just including children, rather than catering towards them. And I much prefer the latter. (If you want an example, just think of Mickey mouse clubhouse vs. gravity falls)
Agreed. I remember watching it when it came out and I was blown away. I watched it over and over, still one of my favorite spooky movies to watch on Halloween. I was surprised how few people actually knew about it globally. In Canada, (at least in my province, anyway) it got a shit ton of advertising and was really popular.
I totally get the confusion with the character development. Here's what's given: 1 is Fear 2 is Inspiration 3 and 4 are Memory (Long Term and Short Term) 5 is Insecurity 6 is Faith 7 is Spirit 8 is Power 9 is Empathy 7 doesn't solely represent rebellion since we see 9, 5, 3, and 4 do the same. 9 doesn't solely represent courage since we see 1, 7, 6, and 8 have as well.
@Ethan Wilde Sarcastic or serious? I've been a writer for almost thirteen years, but don't have any finished stories. A lot of that writing has been me always caught in loops of just constantly improving my work through learning new techniques and then getting sidetracked with background world building. Such as completely forgetting to write for three of those years just to crash course in psychology. The first story I've ever started writing doesn't have a single concrete chapter, yet I've made about three textbooks worth of background lore, culture, biology, and societal structure, which I now have to either recycle or throw in the trash since I don't see a reason to continue with the project.
After Coraline, 9 was the next 'horror' my mom showed me. I think these two really gave me a good look into psychological and sometimes bittersweet horror. Gave me a lot of appreciation for these shows. Even if 9 seems wonky with characters and animation, it still remains a fav!
Interestingly enough when this film was being released an account for the scientist was released on Facebook (or twitter can’t remember) and he posted updates for a few months before the film was released, regarding his creations. Talk about advertisement eh?
You know even when I was younger when I watched the movie I still wonder about the time before ever thing ended and I watch the movie like a 100 times and when I got older I found this movie and paid attention to the newspapers the posters the building ever thing and I would want a movie of the war leading up to the apocalypse of 9
It was Facebook and the account is still up. According to TH-camr 'The Theorizer' (vid-Amazing Secrets of 9) the account spent years being dormant after the movie came out but in 2016-2017 there were some new posts from the scientist.
"Kids movie" Bruh I'm 22 and still in love with this masterpiece lmao, like all this world is so chaotic and bizarre. I've never seen something similar else, love it so much!
I just realized something, if 7 represents rebellion and 9 is courage, then it makes sense for them to be attracted to each other To rebel means to have courage and to be courageous means to have the will to rebel, one cannot truly exist without the other
I remember watching 9 as a kid and being absolutely obsessed with it. I remember drawing the characters because of this and my mom found it kind of strange that a 4 year old was into such a dark movie.
My personal thing, is the whole idea of how the humans died, and the machine wanted the professors soul, is because it was incomplete, and that drives it insane to gas the human race. Then killing the small dolls, so it's own soul can be complete when the human element to its design finally is there.
This movie was special to me for a very specific reason. My birthday was 09-09-1999 and this movie came out on 09-09-2009, I was 9 turning 10. Best birthday movie ever xD
Interesting fact: in Russia dub was changed and whole story was changed, fairly saying multshow was given meaning. So you even could do review on rus story
Funny coincidence, that changes for russian dub was made by popular russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky, who wrote the Metro 2035 series. He also made a book about what happend before the movie "9" Sorry for my english, i`m not a native speaker
@@dad9979 it would be hard to tell about everything that were changed so I would tell about main differences. In russian dub there is twice more dialogues than in original and story has more Christian motives like 9 is the chosen one, also if in original dolls just soul of scientist just different sides of him, in russian vers every doll have part of people souls that was important to scientist, like 1st is soul of dictator shown in the beginning and big doll had soul of his bodyguard, twins are scientist children and there his wife (sry I don't remember their numbers) and one of them is scientist friend etc. Also in the end their redeemed their sins and there monologue about who they were and what their understand in the end (like 1st sacrifice himself and redeemed his soul)

This is one of my fav films since I was a child. This movie just stuck with me, I was never terrifed by this film. I was actually amazed with the action sequences, it was so gorgeous. It is ashamed it is so underrated. This movie will always hold a special place in my heart.
@@doomslayer84 My little brother type that, stupid dude made a TH-cam account under my email and named it frost sqaud, spelled like that and posted him playing with sock puppets and I had to delete it
@@anthonytorrissi6511 The moment, when the viewer realizes with them, that it's rising, is really well done, as the machine being able to operate outside the factory makes it seem totally invincible at that point. Paired with the music, it looks quite terrifying to me aswell.
Yes, that scene along with others like it in the movie really showcase how dangerous their environment is, and by not shying away from death the stakes are never lowered. It’s as if they’re making the audience wait for the next machine to find them. A moment of rest in a movie like this doesn’t truly give the rest everybody needs, because they either don’t last long enough or always end in peril. It’s really awesome, how they could twist the atmosphere behind a “break” like this.
I watched this movie when I was like 8 or 9. Scary stuff, nightmare fuel pretty much. PS: My grandma always managed to show me the worst movies as a kid. She rented watership down, Good will hunting and 9.
One of my favorite movies of all time, first watched it when i was 12, the monsters were awe inspiring and terrifying, each death was sad and held weight. I remember crying when 6 died, it soiled 'Over the Rainbow' for me for a couple years. It's a cult classic these days, I still have the dvd and tshirt in good condition.
I absolutely loved the looks of "The Machine" which can be seen here: 4:18 The steampunk vibe, the electricity erupting from its eye pice, everything about it is cool.
If you wanted 9 to be mute and be unique and represent actions speak louder than words. Did you forget about 3 and 4? They don't say anything at all throughout the movie. If 9 would've been that way it would've just been like 3 and 4. And they already represent exactly what you wanted from 9.
Another reason it's not very well known was because focus features came out with coraline which came out the same year and people were more excited for that, mainly kids
I’ve really learned to appreciate your review style. I also love when you offer your own wishes in the direction the film goes with tasteful humour inserted. I literally laughed out loud when I read “takes hit”. Keep up the good work.
Bitch my mom and dad made me as they watched 9 and she watched it again as she gave birth to me, they make me watch it every year for my birthday. Beat that
I watched this movie when I was eight, and loved it. I remember getting hyped for it when I saw the trailer for it. The creature designs actually inspired some of my monster designs for a comic I’m working on. So yeah this film is very dear to my heart 😊
I liked this movie a lot as a kid (still think it’s fantastic) but I obsessed over Coraline to the point my parents would punish me by not letting me watch it. They thought the reason I’d yell “you’re not my real mom/dad!” Was because of it but I think it was because of this stranger danger video I had seen as a kid. Don’t remember much but I remember the lady telling kids that if they’re being forcibly taken by a stranger to scream “THIS IS NOT MY MOM! THIS IS NOT MY DAD!” Fortunately I didn’t say those in public so we didn’t get in trouble with the law lmao.
When I was younger, I thought the monsters in this were made by Sid from Toy Story and that the two movies were somehow connected. Also, the human-created robots look like something from Dishonored.
I still remember when I watched this movie when I was 8. To this day, it still holds a close place to my heart as a movie from childhood. Still being top 20 (most of the spots being taken up by Harry Potter, studio ghibli films, and Lord of The Rings). If anyone questions why I still hold it in my top 20, here's why. 1. The world of 9 is just something completely different and to this day no one has done it. I know it's a dystopia, but none really do it like 9 did and usually has more of a hopeful look to them. While 9, there was honestly a sense of dread. 2. It was actually my first time getting scared from a movie yet enamored at the same time. Even with how creepy and dreary everything was, everything had a sense of awe and wonder. Everything making you wonder what happened to make it turn into what it is now. 3. It was my first short I ever watched. After the mo ie was released to DVD, my parents got it for me and included in the DVD was the short. Of which, the short just made me wonder more about the world. 4. As you can tell with some of the movies that beat 9, I love movies that have a wonderful world to explore and it's world building is nothing but fantastic. On top of finding out more about the world, there always that sense of "If I find out more, there will be more to discover" 5. The fact of there only being the 9 who are the survivors. That really set the bar for how dangerous of a world it was. That each robot could come up to surprise you at anytime, that any if them could die at anytime. There was no certainty of good things to happen. 6. The art, the art is gorgeous. In particular the robots design and environment. The robots design were scary and moved so weirdly since, well it was a robot. They were just so fascinating to look at and watch. The environment on the other hand, it could tell a story all on its own. With the everything in decay and ruin, rust overcoming metal, and destruction being seen at all corners of the movie. All in all, yeah it is a wonderful movie and I'm happy I was able to see it
Me too, the only thing that scared me was the puppeteer machine but after i fully saw it, i was like "Wow that's so cool !". I don't remember the ending but i just remember that it made me cry though.
I thought it was terrifying when I was younger. I flipped out when the dead ones came back cause I thought they were ghosts. I thought dead people did it too
I was 7, when I watched this and I don't remember it being this horrifying. I was probably still recovering from 'Coraline'.........that movie still scares me.
I remember watching this movie for the first time, I was about 11, it didn’t scare me as much as I think it should have, non the less was scary and frickin amazing and I think you did a decent job of explaining it, don’t think I Could’ve done it better myself, keep up the good work!
I always thought the reason why they had different personalities, voices and genders dispite coming from one soul is because they were based on the ancestors of the scientist.
That's a really cool take, I don't think tho that's why they have different voices and "genders" is because of the voicebox they got from some random scraps.
@@acemagalor2519 that's what I thought, in the Russian translation, yes they all are a part of the guy's soul but I always thought the actual dolls are the representation of the people who the scientist was close too. It's like his soul was made up of the people he held dear and then separated them into the dolls. That's why at the end 9 says like, we have the wife (7) the children (3 and 4) and like the general, I'm pretty sure who is 1.
@Raggy123 Yeah, that was it. He fell in love with himself, the kind of love that is generally never good even when focused on another. The greeks believed that there were many forms of love an this obsessive one we saw with Narcissus was one of them.

I watched 9 for the first and only time about two or three years ago, when I was living with my boyfriend after some family issues. The movie hit me, really hard, in the best way. The feeling of hopelessness, desolation and isolation, ending on bitter sweet hope for the future just made me feel a connection to the movie. It's really near and dear to me, and I loved that you reviewed it. Sincerely, thank you.
I think that the reason 1 has the only character ark in the film is because he is the bad side of the scientist, and the reason 9 doesn’t have an ark at all and is just a hero cliche, is because he is the good and naive side of the scientist
I think 9 is great, but i will admit it needs some improvement, I'm actually hoping for a reboot, maybe one this year since it's 2019 (get it.... ge-get it...)
The intro makes it seem a lot scarier than it was then when I watched it. Also, I really wish they made a sequel that expanded on some of the unknown aspects of the movie
my Dad showed my Sister and I This film when We were three. It absolutely terrified us- but now this film holds a special place in my heart- and I lowkey love it-
Sorry but the extinction of the human race is not as creepy as the deaths of at least 3 people at the hands of a sewing machine/ skeleton that literally uses their souls to make servants. We already have Terminator and every other "robot takes over the world" movie. That said, 9 is great. Glad it wasn't pg.
@dude bro But what about the Seamstress (centipede baby thing) using the corpse of an ally to trick and kill the dolls created by the guy who fucked up royally by killing seemingly all life?
@@pleasestopinsanity there was a scene where 9 went inside a door and it looks like a car but i don't know since that was years ago and i think my parents just said that to make me watch
I first saw this film in theaters when I was a senior in high school. My preteen sister was with me. We went to see one film, but it was canceled so we saw 9. It was rated PG-13, which surprised us for a "kids' film". The ticket holder double-checked to make sure I would be in the theater with my sister. I always wondered why until today! Still a great movie, though!
The graphics look like the cutscenes to a really good 3d horror game from 2001, and I'm a sucker for overly creative and complicated monster designs. I adore this movie.
I loved this movie as a kid, and I still love it to this day. The only thing I would change is I would make the Stitchpunks mute- I feel that would've made the movie stand out a bit more and also make the Stitchpunks more interesting, as they would've had to communicate and express themselves almost solely through body language and context.
Wait aren't dolls memories of scientist? like his wife, his children etc and not parts of his personality. On the same note romance between 9 and 7 isn't weird at all it is actually super sweet, you know, even after death scientist and his wife love each other and all that.
There is no mention of the scientist having a wife In the movie... In the newspapers... In the trailers... In the wiki... Or even in the twitter account...
@@detective_paranormal Russian version was completely rewrited by one of the producers. It has many deep and philosophical dialogs at moments, where in the original version characters weren't even saying anything, it was just silence! Original is way more abstract, not really explaining anything, when in Russian version it's just a completely different story, only animation is the same.
I watched this film when I was little, and I can remember my parents saying how disturbing it was, but I personally am into that and was fine watching it. It's nice seeing it again after I lost the film in my memory.
never met one person talking about this movie, its my favorate movie and I own it on DVD im happy to see someone talk about it for the first time. I think its under rated and a really heartfelt movie.

8 is Power

Oh yeah, that scene was legit scary for me once the machine started chasing 5
@@anthonytorrissi6511 The moment, when the viewer realizes with them, that it's rising, is really well done, as the machine being able to operate outside the factory makes it seem totally invincible at that point. Paired with the music, it looks quite terrifying to me aswell.
Yes, that scene along with others like it in the movie really showcase how dangerous their environment is, and by not shying away from death the stakes are never lowered. It’s as if they’re making the audience wait for the next machine to find them. A moment of rest in a movie like this doesn’t truly give the rest everybody needs, because they either don’t last long enough or always end in peril. It’s really awesome, how they could twist the atmosphere behind a “break” like this.
I watched this movie when I was like 8 or 9. Scary stuff, nightmare fuel pretty much.

If you wanted 9 to be mute and be unique and represent actions speak louder than words. Did you forget about 3 and 4? They don't say anything at all throughout the movie. If 9 would've been that way it would've just been like 3 and 4. And they already represent exactly what you wanted from 9.
Ricardo Hernandez, I understand what your say but 3 and 4 didn’t have much screen time as the other characters did

Another reason it's not very well known was because focus features came out with coraline which came out the same year and people were more excited for that, mainly kids

I liked this movie a lot as a kid (still think it’s fantastic) but I obsessed over Coraline to the point my parents would punish me by not letting me watch it.
They thought the reason I’d yell “you’re not my real mom/dad!” Was because of it but I think it was because of this stranger danger video I had seen as a kid. Don’t remember much but I remember the lady telling kids that if they’re being forcibly taken by a stranger to scream “THIS IS NOT MY MOM! THIS IS NOT MY DAD!”
Fortunately I didn’t say those in public so we didn’t get in trouble with the law lmao.
When I was younger, I thought the monsters in this were made by Sid from Toy Story and that the two movies were somehow connected.
Also, the human-created robots look like something from Dishonored.

I still remember when I watched this movie when I was 8. To this day, it still holds a close place to my heart as a movie from childhood. Still being top 20 (most of the spots being taken up by Harry Potter, studio ghibli films, and Lord of The Rings).
If anyone questions why I still hold it in my top 20, here's why.
1. The world of 9 is just something completely different and to this day no one has done it. I know it's a dystopia, but none really do it like 9 did and usually has more of a hopeful look to them. While 9, there was honestly a sense of dread.
2. It was actually my first time getting scared from a movie yet enamored at the same time. Even with how creepy and dreary everything was, everything had a sense of awe and wonder. Everything making you wonder what happened to make it turn into what it is now.
3. It was my first short I ever watched. After the mo ie was released to DVD, my parents got it for me and included in the DVD was the short. Of which, the short just made me wonder more about the world.
4. As you can tell with some of the movies that beat 9, I love movies that have a wonderful world to explore and it's world building is nothing but fantastic. On top of finding out more about the world, there always that sense of "If I find out more, there will be more to discover"
5. The fact of there only being the 9 who are the survivors. That really set the bar for how dangerous of a world it was. That each robot could come up to surprise you at anytime, that any if them could die at anytime. There was no certainty of good things to happen.
6. The art, the art is gorgeous. In particular the robots design and environment. The robots design were scary and moved so weirdly since, well it was a robot. They were just so fascinating to look at and watch. The environment on the other hand, it could tell a story all on its own. With the everything in decay and ruin, rust overcoming metal, and destruction being seen at all corners of the movie.
All in all, yeah it is a wonderful movie and I'm happy I was able to see it
I actually really liked this movie when i was young and i thought the machines where pretty cool looking.
Cooper Robinson it has a great aesthetic and tone to it

Same, but I got a mad fever while watching
Me too, the only thing that scared me was the puppeteer machine but after i fully saw it, i was like "Wow that's so cool !". I don't remember the ending but i just remember that it made me cry though.
I thought it was terrifying when I was younger. I flipped out when the dead ones came back cause I thought they were ghosts. I thought dead people did it too
I was 7, when I watched this and I don't remember it being this horrifying. I was probably still recovering from 'Coraline'.........that movie still scares me.

Man, what you said about 9 being a silent protagonist, God bless you! I've been saying that for nearly a decade.
I acually thought i accidentally muted the rv with my remote
So about 9 years?
XD
I always thought the reason why they had different personalities, voices and genders dispite coming from one soul is because they were based on the ancestors of the scientist.
That's a really cool take, I don't think tho that's why they have different voices and "genders" is because of the voicebox they got from some random scraps.
That’s actually pretty accurate to the Russian translation
@@acemagalor2519 that's what I thought, in the Russian translation, yes they all are a part of the guy's soul but I always thought the actual dolls are the representation of the people who the scientist was close too. It's like his soul was made up of the people he held dear and then separated them into the dolls. That's why at the end 9 says like, we have the wife (7) the children (3 and 4) and like the general, I'm pretty sure who is 1.
I would class it as narcissistic. He isn't having sex with himself, he is falling in love with himself, thusly narcissism.
Well,kinda

@@lordofshades9852 Iknow, it was a joke to the reviewer asking if this would be considered masturbation or whatever.

@@imaran1303 he didn't fall in love with himself, he became *obsessed* with himself. Huge difference.
@Raggy123 Yeah, that was it. He fell in love with himself, the kind of love that is generally never good even when focused on another. The greeks believed that there were many forms of love an this obsessive one we saw with Narcissus was one of them.

There are speculations of a sequel, the doctor's social media page has been updated in recent months, although its just a profile picture change.
*reboot apears*
*Is a terrible reboot*
maybe a prequel, and/or a sequel where they find more humans and/or stitchpunks
The intro makes it seem a lot scarier than it was then when I watched it. Also, I really wish they made a sequel that expanded on some of the unknown aspects of the movie
This may be the only movie wich doesn't need a sequel, they are literally alone in an empty world, it can't get any more boring than that

Sorry but the extinction of the human race is not as creepy as the deaths of at least 3 people at the hands of a sewing machine/ skeleton that literally uses their souls to make servants.
