9 [M]

Director: Shane Acker

Starring: (voices) Elijah Wood, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, Crispin Glover

Animated Sci–Fi — The time is the too–near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world's machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, destroying the human population before being largely shut down.

But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilisation; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post–apocalypse.

With their numbers so small, these “stitchpunk” creations must summon individual strengths well beyond their own proportions in order to outwit and fight against still–functioning machines, one of which is a marauding beast. Produced by Tim Burton, music by Danny Elfman. (PN)
