9 is also an upcoming computer animated feature film adapted from the short film, is produced in part by Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov, and Jim Lemley and is scheduled for release on September 9, 2009. The film will be released by Focus Features.
The short film took four and a half years, on and off, to create. Acker used Maya 1.55.5, Photoshop for the textures, After Effects for compositing, and Premiere for editing.
Summary; 9 is a sentient rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying parallel world, and is hunted relentlessly by a twisted mechanical beast that has killed eight of his rag doll kindred by stealing their souls with a canister-like talisman. 9 was formerly accompanied by his friend and mentor, the one-eyed 5, with whom he scavenged the ruins of their world in search of tools that would help them survive. However, the monster attacked 5 and stole his soul with its talisman, though 9 narrowly escaped with a similar, glowing talisman given to him by 5. In an attempt to destroy the monster, 9 prepares a trap and lures it into an old building where it is briefly subdued, allowing 9 to steal its talisman. The monster breaks free and chases 9 through the building, cornering him on a wooden plank elevated high above the floor. Just as the monster crawls along the unstable plank and approaches him, 9 leaps to safety and knocks the plank down. The monster plummets to the floor below, impaled and killed by the falling plank. After setting up a memorial for his kindred, 9 puts the two talismans together to create a larger canister that releases the souls of all the monster's victims, including 5. Before vanishing, 5's spirit turns to 9 and gives him an approving nod. 9 sets off to parts unknown, leaving the canister behind.

well, think abuot it. how could you make a movie like this over an hour long? i think that's what's pretty unique about the 9 movie produced by Tim Burton, because it expands the whole 9 universe, and all. both are great, but of course, since the short film is the original, it is still better.
I dont get it , why did Tim Burton take a short film , used the same story , same exacty style of animation same averything and just made it an hour long?
