Nine Shane Acker - 2005

[iMuzikal1]

I love the scene where 5 and 9 are trying to get the lightbulb out of the lamp, and thn they make the lightstaff. It's so adorable when 9 looks really excited and 5 laughs :D

Hey, fellow 9 fans! Check out my channel and my 9 AMVs. And PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE commnent, 'cause I really want to know how i did! Thanks in advance :)

[jari093]

würde auch gern so tolle sachen machen können

[myemeraldmind]

this movie was so cool

[exorcistu91]

beautiful

[lygophile]

i gotta stop reading spoiler comments.

[SeFu2006]

it's sad how 2 died, he was the nicest one

[hugsandpunches101]

@SeFu2006 i think 5 was the nicest one

[DorianVasco]

What a brilliant short! I cant wait for the Burton release here in Germany.

[baxterblue24]

my fav part is 7:12 and on.

what a smart doll!

[nzone4]

so this is what started it all...........i can see why Tim Burton took such an interest in this short animation. it's &$#&# crazy

[FargoJ02]

Wow... this is the whole full lenght movie in a nutshell XD

[loco864999]

5 pwns ALL (and 3 and 4)

[LiinkFreek]

...What!? Even the beloved twins were dead! Noooo!!

[johnyyonehand]

whata hell so the movie "9" is the "copy" of this video?

[sdafdsffdsjkfdfhdjk]

no it was remake lol

[MellowJelly]

Six is my favorite :3

[bicfox1]

5*****

[SkaterK3]

Video games tend to ruin such good things. Let video games be video games and films be films.

[xXxWhitexRussianxXx]

I thought the full-length screenplay was excellent. It was simple, but that's what made it awesome. and when you look at this short, both rank really amazing as far as films go. Innovation rating=10/10 (plus Tim Burton was involved, which automatically gives it that edge =P )

[Abengoshis]

What exactly happened at the end? Did they all become alive again and walk off because those poles weren't there at the very end.

[R9W4B1]

Their souls were released from the amulet, but their bodies were destroyed. So they were finally put to rest. The poles were a memorial, and the fire in the middle spread to the poles and burned them.

I hope that clears some things

[knuclear2008]

That was kinda nice. I probably wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if i hadn't seen the theatrical version first. But i wouldve loved the 9 vs. Cat Beast scene all the same.

[knuclear2008]

I wouldnt think so. It has the elements of a good video game, but the story didn;t have that much depth. besides the developers wouldnt really work too much on it anyway. and it would be a kid's game...probably.

[MrVouloir]

It is not a 'dog thing'. it's a cat. The three animal like creatures shown in the movie are representations of Egypt's main animals, a cat, a vulture, and a snake.

[REisFUN2]

have you never played a movie game? all of them seem to suck except just a few.

[MrAlan7777]

AWESOME VIDEO lil lyieng about the movie they never died like thta and

nine wasnt the only 1 to live

[HaxorDarkness]

When i first saw the new one that came out, i thought that everything about it was underdeveloped. But after watching this i realize that its hard to make a movie that has to follow the parameters of another.

[legostarfreak]

I Love the movie

[JARTX]

anyone feel like playing Metal Arms: Glitch In The System after watching this?

[R9W4B1]

Is that a video game? I've never heard of it. Is it good?

[knuclear2008]

not me. Not enough guns...or lack thereof. or wise-cracking robots voiced by Corey Burton.

[llinsane1ll]

This short film is so AWESOME! Going to see the movie later today or tomorrow =D GJ Shane Acker.

[Uchihagurl2121]

So just to be 100% sure:

This is the original short that came out BEFORE the movie?

[solidwolf52]

yes, this short formed the basis of the movie

[TheScorpion0081]

Yes. :)

[sunstarpokemon]

I saw the movie the day it came out, it was really great! =D

[arctr00per45]

who else saw the movie today!

[asianbakerman]

This is a pretty good summary of what happens in the movie. Not exactly, but it's the basic premise.

[halohump899]

is this in the movie?

[nunchuka0wii]

Nope.

[SES4L]

they rele dont explain the plot in this or the commercials for the new one

[arctr00per45]

i like that oh shit! look on 9's face at 1"30

[ninjotaku15]

hahahaha, i didn't even notice that! XD

[brownEYEDdancer15]

i feel like it was only part of the story, very confused!

[terraleone]

yeah this was made in 2005 and the movie coming out soon was based off this short film.

[PaintedLadder]

cant wait! comes out in 4 days!

[Humbug1990]

Beautiful.

[mhernandez333]

wait wat is this supposed to be about??? im lik really confused

[filalo]

1:the proclaimed leader

2:the old inventor

3&4:knowledge,and use their eyes as projectors(also don't speak)

5:the mechanic,missing 1eye,friend of 2.

6:can paint past an future events and is the guidance

7: the rebel girl ,a fighter and kind of a loner

8:the strongest of all dolls.also number 1's personal bodyguard

9: the main hero,brave,shy,and hold some kind of secret

[MagexofxAnime]

I'm gonna try to see it opening day! I'm really excited!

[AtlasTravis]

Awesome short!

[JesusNipples]

Ugh. The dino-bot thing at 5:25 is made from all of the other skins sewn together.

[lollipopfop]

Was 5 his buddy?

[lollipopfop]

Wellthe monster couldn't have been much like a cat, or it would have fallen on is feet.

[mortman200]

it looks like a skeletal robot dog. like what would happen if lassy was rebuilt by the borg.

[MkyTinc]

it looks more like a halfdog half robo-cat

[Spick297]

thats a myth and that skull was a cat skull but also even if it did land on its feet that big plank fell on it just to get this cleared up now don't be sending me hate mail

[Roboterm01]

this one has better quality :D

[buttdread]

not an ending. just a short film, where they got the idea from. i think.

[indyfan597]

That is where they got it from!

[screaminmetal]

i really hope i did not just see the ending.duuuuude this movie is sooooooooooooooo crazy i cant wait!

[NurseJokerr]

Ich kann nicht auf den Film warten (:

[GeneralZugg06]

that machine has an actual cat skull for a head

sooooo psyched for the movie, i just wish i didn't have to wait till september!

[GodsPoisonSamael]

That thing creeps me out, i mean its just the way its put together, like all the scrap parts and the stitched together numers of the other little guys.......and near the end when 9 turns back to look and you see the skull just kinda floating there with the one eye, sent chills down my spine!

[marcolotr]

Where can i download this 4 free?

[Andybadtothebone]

It's not even going to be out for another couple of months. Wait, then Pirate it : )

[onewiththesea]

Do I spy a Pixar nod at 2:19?

^^

[killerhamster21594]

haha ya that cool

but it mite b a regular lamp idk

[Triforce75]

what is that robot thing?

[Triforce75]

I wanna Nine doll!!!

[Bluebelle9289]

You could make one. They're pretty easy to make.

[klasapolczyn]

"stworzony w technice animacji poklatkowej"

Poklatkowo był tworzony Vincent czy Nightmare Before Christmas. To mi wygląda na po prostu animację komputerową

[OutpostChannel]

Oczywiście masz rację jest to animacja komputerowa starająca się naśladować styl techniki poklatkowej. Dzięki za zwrócenie uwagi.

[maviozoPL]

"starająca się naśladować styl techniki poklatkowej" Skąd ten pomysł w ogóle?

[Valhalla1]

I totally agree with you, man!

[mvpphan]

If you guys like this, there's prequel story to "9" that has already begun to unfold on facebook. Just go to Facebook and search "9 Scientist"

Go inside the mind of the Scientist to see the Machine that will help rebuild the Nation and be the first to see his designs that will change the world.

Begin your journey into the back-story of 9 now.

[Krisspychiken]

doesnt work for me, just gives me alot of useless groups ... reckon you can pm me or send link here?

[GPHsmurf]

this is great!

i hope the peopel behind this make it into a full movie, it deserves to be on the shelves, i would rent it and rip it XD

[Kendog54]

it will be a real movie look up the trailer it comes out 9-9-09

[AdventureMahoney]

Can't wait for the movie. I set the trailer as the background on my phone. The music on trailer really pumps me up.

[sendatsu]

oh- yeah! That song is intense- I wish I knew what it was called

[DarthBiggles]

ummm that song isn't in this short, that's the song used for the trailer for the movie.

(flippin' amazing song btw)

[MysticalNekochan]

This is AMAZING! I can't wait for the movie! I like the lack of dialogue. It makes the feelings you're supposed to get stronger when you really have to watch what's going on. I love it! ^-^

[vexx0330]

is it just me or do they look like the guys from little big plaint

[rpbrandau]

If it is, LBP ripped these off. This was made way before ps3 was even out.

[fiveMIRrOrs]

Of course it was either Ackner or team behind LBP that invented making dolls from sack cloth...

[masterpiraka]

lol.

[normanthepig]

Wow.  I am very excited for the full-length film.

[mintonmatt]

This short is sooo amazing!!!

[TheInnerSanctuary]

Very nice... Its like Toy Story meets Silent Hill with a happy ending. :)

[scull360]

cant wait for the movie! :D

[enlixx]

poor 5.. if only he had put up more of a fight. :(

[HobbitNinj]

Wow. How the hell did he make this? This guy's a genius! :)

[socalman028]

love the video!!!!!! how this guy came up with this i don't know but he is brilliant!!!!!!

[Bobablazer]

This is actually really cool. I really liked this. It reminds me of tim burton type shit.

[misteazer1]

He's doing the full length feature of 9. I'm totally pumped for it!

[Zankard5]

Same here I have been waiting for it since last year. This is amazing. What software did you use?

[aoffan23]

He's only producing it, he's not directing it. Shane Acker is going to be directing I THINK. Don't quote me on that I'll have to check.

[runrabbit119]

You're right. It's true

[marcolotr]

is this part of the upcoming movie? or what?!

[DarkToboki]

Yes, yes it is.

[socalman028]

no it is a short that the movie is based on.

[seamonkeysarereal]

how many short films r there? and i which order do they go in? will it efect the movie for me if i dont watch the short films?

[littlelivey12]

yeah they are its comeing out on 9/9/09 haha wich is funny

[jvarna5]

Acker did great on this; so why are they bringing in Tim Burton and Timur to do the movie version?

Not to discredit these guys (they're awesome!) but who is actually directing?

[ZombieFinn]

Acker is still directing and helming the feature film project. Burton and Bekmambetov are only financing and assisting with publicity; that's why they're credited as a producers. Don't worry, it's still very much Acker's baby.

[ShadowSoldior]

I liked it, it was good...but what is it about? 9 little robots walk around a ghetto and get their souls taken by an angry cyborg squirrel.

[masterpiraka]

why the fuck would you ask for the plot and then explain the plot?

[ShadowSoldior]

I didn't explain it, I said what it looked like too me. If I had known what it was I wouldn't have asked.

[emocuts94]

i love how tim burton is making the new version also hes great

[12grunts]

Tim is only producing it.

[kaleidostar132]

wow, such an incredible animation, and its gonna be a movie too!!!! aw man, with this short film being turned into a movie, u just know that its gonna kick ass!!!

[enkeibeloved]

such. good. animation. wow.

[848094c]

briliant must see

[MeXMMA]

Hellz yea

[kyler1man]

finaly one with no moanin n groanin in the backround !!! XD

[edipted]

yay the version without a pornographic sound-track lol

[LihAniaih]

Yeah, whoever did that was just an idiot :\ Ruining such an amazing piece of artwork.

[masterpiraka]

The original had that :/

[LihAniaih]

Were you at the SIGGRAPH in 2005?
