This was PG 13?!...
*WAS MY PARENTS TRYING TO TRAUMATIZE ME? THEY MADE ME WATCH THIS WHEN I WAS LIKE 5*
Glad I wasn’t the only one
Same, childhood trauma gang
I remember going to see this as a six year old in cinemas. Hurray, trauma!
I was 4 and told my preschool teacher she wasn't very happy about it
Actually, i was the one in the family obsessed with the flim.
Minions: Remembered as one of the highest grossing animated films of all time.
9: Forgotten in time
Reality is often disappointing
yep, sad :(
I never forgot
Ye 😞
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.
People hate minions tho, people don’t hate 9.
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
Sad state of affairs how it is nowadays.
Big same
I can relate
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)
Yes, 9 is one of my favorites. Way ahead of its time
I cosplayed 9 once and literally someone said “are you a minion?” I- 😭
Should have smacked some sense into that person.
Put them in prison
rip
damn I would ask for a picture but then remembered this isn’t reddit or discord or some shit
That guy should be taking notes and I dunno LEARN SOMETHING!?
I saw 9 on an airplane when I was 5 thinking it was The Little Big Planet Movie. Biggest mistake of my life...
That's too good 😂
Comment of the year
Any normal person watching it: What did they do to Sackboy???
I thought i was the only person who thought about this
Same here! But i dint get scared a bit, i though i was missing a sequel game or something
This is one of these films of which you thought it just was a dream but years later it turns out, it was real after all...
I felt this
When j was 5 I though the second Harry potter was just a dream
Yeah like the one film with the a pandemic and a guy got shot
Following your logic, 90% if the people that saw their vids in the feed where like "real shit?"
Holy shit thats spot on
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!
9 to me is like a sci fi coraline, both are gorgeously animated movies that have very dark themes, pretty scary moments and both feel very mature
"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!
Perhaps you may enjoy Little Nightmares
"For something that looks like your typical CG kids film..."

@@tthung8668 the cat thing.
I just loved it when I saw it in the trailer when it was lipsyncing with Coheed and Cambria's song.
ah shit. here we go again
Cid from Toy story made it lol
Little big planet + salad fingers = 9
holy crap
Somebody got a little to exited In sandbox mode
Abyss_ Pumpking thank god I’m not the only person who thought that
You're right
How could you say something so controversial yet so brave?
"And the main charater is..."

"Food, drinks, groceries, Glovo can bring anything to your home!"

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
Could you give us some further details in how the overall story change din the Russian dub?
@@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)
I just realised that the romance between 7 and 9 is basically the seven ate nine joke
nine
would’ve been funnier if 7 was 6 if you catch my drift
Shut up
VictoryVick why?
@@digi102 Oh boy
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.
Wait there was a sequel in planning!?
I didn’t know this ;-;
9.9
It got cancelled?
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.
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.
I watched this when I was 9
And that’s the first movie that made me scared at night
I cried after watch this movie
U wimps I watched it when I was 6 and I wasn't phased by it
Bruh I watched it at 6 and was terrified. The soul sucking dogs keep me awake for so long .
lol I watched it when I was 9 too, kind of ironic right? Except it didn't really scare me
@@mindurownbusinessnosey3846 same but i was 5
“And the main character is...”

Ad: “My Anxiety got really bad after I started vaping-“
Idk why this made me laugh
For me, it was a Pokémon mobile game ad.

"I know they're called 'stitchpunks"
Me: *has watched the movie too many times* THEY'RE CALLED W H A T
THATS ME TOO??? like ive only seen it once cause my gf was like WATCHITTTTT and im just...thwyre called s...stitchpunks
@@Marcymeatmachine the beast is called "Cat beast" the centipede is called "Seamstress" I can't remember the others sadly.
I was way too into this movie when i was young, and active on deviantart and fanfiction.net. even then I thought "stitchpunks" was dumb
Yes it's a cyber punk film . Lowkey
It's a film about the calamity of technology (EVIL ROBOTS) and it's negative effects on the world it had so there in the post apocalyptic world and the punks or rebles ( being the sticked dolls ) aka stitched punks
I just called them ragdolls or dolls, I never knew they were called stitchpunks, and this was the film I grew up with
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.
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.
"...Because unlike Minions, this film is actually good."

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
Good take op
But then 7 ate 9
@@myang12003
ayo?
But one thing I don’t understand is why 7 is female. The scientist is either gender fluid, or 7 is trans.
@@Silliestgooberz or it could be that rebelling means to be different from the crowd
Stitchpunk sounds like an awesome band name, and one of there songs could be called ragdoll!
That actually makes sense XD
How about ragpunk
Also the trailer was pretty cool too. Who knew Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria was fitting for a post apocalyptic setting

9 was probably the most underrated movie of 2009. It's a shame that it never got the recognition and box office that it deserved.
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.
Agreed. My favorite scary kids movie
It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth seeing at least once.
SAME CAUSE IT IS MY CHILDHOOD!
The first movie to give me nightmares it is a 10/10
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 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.
Just something kinda interesting, the higher the number the puppet the more cleanly and better they are made, 9 having the sculpt fingers neat stitches and no loose pieces while 1 has a bobble tied at his head stitch work belts and buttons all over and his fingers are flat plates of metal
the number is the order they were made. the creator of the dolls will obviously improved over time ^^
Woah. Film theory?
then what will be improved with 10?
Charles H. The creator split his soul into the dolls but he put 2/10 into 9 while the others have 1 tenth of the creators soul
@@carl_the_nothing, b/c he was dead after 9
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 That's something a lizard would say...
@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.
@@carumsarene Could I work with you on it? I love using the elements of a world to make a unique story, but I'm a little weak with world building
I always thought 9 was curiosity....
@@christiancasaverdepertica1802
I could definitely help. My telegram is @CSarene
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
10:07
My friend... These ragdolls are lighter than humans. Of course they don't walk "weighty" They literally can't. :D
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 UA-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.
I also recommend that theorizer video. It was fantastic.
Yes, it was a very interesting and informative video.
They made that so people could look into the lore
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
wow that is really amazing
*tch* noice
Looks like I'm not alone here, as I was born on 9/9/1997
HOLY
And Cirno's birthday is 9...
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.
I adored this movie when it came out but I was a teenager living my edgy self then, and I just love it so so much
I watched this when I was young. I couldn't remember much the story afterwards because it confused me. Surprised it's not very well known.
Why am I not surprised? 😂
Honestly I see you watching it
Same, Hi lauren!
@Chicken & Nuggets why wouldn't she?
She lives for spoop
@Chicken & Nuggets SPOOOOOOOPS!
But yeah I do too
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.
That's a stupid idea

I really enjoyed the film when I was a kid. I actually laughed, cheered, and got excited.
Jesus, I had a very troubled childhood.
This film is so underrated, I loved it as a kid! Even though the deaths freaked me out.
CatEye I feel the SAME way!
@@cafangytang1700 yee man

sameee it’s so good
Further proof that animation is nOT just for kids.
Be it Flash animation, CGI or hand drawn.
Eh, no one questions that. What they have trouble with is when non-child targeted animation isn't just for laughs (like Seth Macfarlane's animated series and similarly premised shows or movies).
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!
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.
That's just copying his criticism
When I was a kid I watched this movie, and the funny thing is I never got traumatized. I actually enjoyed the movie.
Same here! Like I watched it ALL THE TIME"
same, i watched a lot of mature movies as a kid and somehow i'm a normal dude
@@Store_64 cool
same bro
Same here XD
The short film actually made all of the characters mute (I guess? They didn't talk, and only communicated through gestures). Now that you mentioned it, it would really make 9 a better character if he was mute.
Yeah I got a bit dissapointed when he got voice but still liked the film
I only remember the bits where he didn't talk so i thought that he was mute for the longest
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.
this is the first movie i remember watching. my grandma used to live in front of a video rental business where you got to buy the movies if you paid extra. i remember she bought this on dvd and we watched it together for years until the dvd player scratched the disc, then she went and bought another copy. this movie makes me cry out of nostalgia, 10/10 i love it
Actually they're called stitchpunks. I wasn't going to comment, but then you told me not to.

He was "kinda" involed in the project but merely as support
Oh hey , i found u again
to be honest this movies animation is simply incredible and borderline I didn't even follow the plot when I first watched it because the action and animation we're just eye candy and a joy to look at.
I watched the movie in awe and wonder. This apocalyptic scene was mesmerizing, the stitch punks (ragdolls) were amazing. The beast and the other monsters B.R.A.I.N. made were incredible. I found that the story is obviously how humans fell and we're cruel. The machine (B.R.A.I.N) was never meant for war, and it was innocent. It looked sad to see it's creator go, which i saw as how the thing was thinking. The stress caused it to destroy, corrupting it. I felt like it knew what the ragdolls had, and wanted it for itself. Perhaps it wanted the power, or maybe it was going to fix the planet now that it is destroyed. As the movie ended, i was pondering what could have happened. 9, 7, 4 and 3 are now the only things left alive, and the rain is bound to bring back the planet. So what happened next? We don't know, but i can guess. Truly, this film was a gem for me.
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.
watership down.....
you have any awesome grandma
Yer grandma wanted you to be strong
If 9 was actually mute:
"I think giving him a voice would be much more interesting and won't feel dead and boring"
If 9 had more character and personality:

@@insertfunnynamehere6552 So you're 10?

Some people recommended this to me, but your review finally convinced me; I'll try to see this film.
Thanks for your work, I really love this channel!
I watched this when I was 4, I absolutely loved it and so did my mom.
It's crazy that I still remember the WHOLE PLOT.
Edit: I watched the entire movie and I was right about the plot the whole time.
I wish I could forget and watch it again.
I mean, the way the "Somewhere over the rainbow" scene progresses, definitely validates the underlaying discomfort...
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 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 personally think that a sequel to this movie would be great. It could add a lot more time to explain details that the original couldn't.
I kinda approve the idea of having 9 mute, because i kinda accidentally watched the whole movie while muted and it kinda gave much more mystery

Pretty sure its post a world War that ended all wars, but thats all I got from from the movie- but thats my personal perception of it..
Idk why but that scene with the dead mother and baby in the car has stuck with me since I first saw this movie back in 2009
The moment you realize 9 is voiced by Frodo (or for me, Wirt from Over The Garden Wall because I'm not a Lord Of The Rings fan)-
Also I love how cleverly you used a clip of the woodsman from OTGW exclaiming about the beast, knowing that Elijah Wood is both 9 and Wirt.
Ah yes. "9", also known by my parents as:
"Alright honey, how are we traumatizing the kids tonight?"
I was so fucking scared when i watched it
@Oi Josuke Ok that would scare any parent lmao

*sobs*
BRO SAME
Same
S A M E .
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.
I watched this movie when I was like seven or eight. I started it thinking it'd be all fun and games (despite the obviously spooky cover) and then I got traumatized. Especially by that weird thing that like sewed the characters, I still get shivers to this very day about it.
I remember my dad renting this on Netflix back in 2009-2010 (back when they would send DVDs) and I was about 8 years old watching this film. It was probably the first time encountering a dark animated movie. I remember the melancholy feeling watching this film and my dad absolutely regretting letting me watch it. We both loved it in the end but I have only watched it 3 times since then through the years

Same! My parents are the CEO of not reading the age limit
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
Brooo exactly the same as me lmao
it's been a few years since I last watched this movie and somehow i had the memories of it being stopmotion with the humans being life action, now that would have been fantastic, because it's definitely got the right look and feel for it
Honestly, I remember somehow having this movie as a kid, and watching it.. but I literally don't remember anything from this movie except a vague feeling I got from watching it, like three scenes that have been morphing into nothingness in my brain as the years have gone by, and just a vague understanding or knowing that this movie traumatized and scared me as a kid. That's literally it.
I saw this movie when i was in like 5th grade, i get PTSD flashbacks whenever i see the movie when i go on Netflix
it’s on Netflix?
@@fortherepublic6796 yea
@@fortherepublic6796 Yes
I was fucking 4 when I saw it.
Also, I love it. I feel very fond towards it because of how creatively horrifying it is.
I was 8 when I saw it and I actually enjoyed it and re watched it. It was actually not as thrilling as I remember but it was still great.
Brooooo you missed the best joke. You could have said you rated it a 9/10
Samual Robertson 9/11

Should've rated it 9/9
my aunt got this movie for me when I was like 7 or something, it was so scary I'm still too scared to rewatch it 8 years later
I love this movie. It isn't for everyone but I'm so glad it was made. Thank you for reviewing this gem!
The scene with the song over the rainbow was supposed to give you a sense of false hope like they survived
It was genius to have the song still play as they reveal the machine survive. Gotta love some mood whiplash. :)
Just wondering, but did you listen to the commentary?
@@fallen_vague28 did you read his comment or watched the movie?
@@handsoap1097 I think they mean the director's commentary
9 contains a lot of themes in itself, but I think you're kind of off base on the characters. 1 is very clearly supposed to represent the older, more regressive aspects of the scientist where 9 is the blind optimism and heroics. Despite this, they both have their flaws and arcs. 9 is brave but foolish and headstrong. Hell, most of the characters have a bit more depth than you'd expect. And I attribute that to the Scientist giving them pieces of his soul and not just his personality.
2 is wise but he's also stubborn and independent. 8 is big and sadistic, but he also shows a very definite enjoyment of silly or odd things. The twins are knowledgeable but curious and playful. All of them have a bit more depth than I think you gave credit for.
Stephen Vantas I agree
Plus he neglects to mention that both 3 and 4 fill the role of mute characters. 9's interactions with them wouldn't be as good if he was still mute at the time.
I remember seeing 9 as a kid and loving it. I was rarely scared as a kid, I just never thought about.
you know I was rewatching this video and I just want to thank you for a good fair review on this film

This was actually one of my favorite movies as a kid, strangely enough.
same here brother,
Same
Yeah, this was a really cool and kinda creepy movie
I found my people
Yupp
this film is phenomenal and remains to be in my top 5 fave films of all time. it's an incredibly powerful post apocalyptic film and has some of the best horror sci fi i've ever seen in cinema or television. i'll always love it.
This movie came out my birthday, I watch it a few years later when i was young. I got very bad nightmares, so bad that I kept waking up in the middle of the night because of them. Hell it's still scares me, and I barely get scared now.
for me the most traumatizing part is when the damn scorpion thing use the body of 2 like trap
The scariest part for me was when there souls were taken but yes that part did freak me out
that was my favorite part
I love this movie.
O boy 317 likes thank you all for that really

I would class it as narcissistic. He isn't having sex with himself, he is falling in love with himself, thusly narcissism.
Well,kinda
They only semi-know their origin
@@lordofshades9852 Iknow, it was a joke to the reviewer asking if this would be considered masturbation or whatever.
Falling in love with oneself is good though
@@diggitydoo5836 There is a story of a hero who fell in love with his own reflection and died from it. You might wanna read up on that one.
@@imaran1303 he didn't fall in love with himself, he became *obsessed* with himself. Huge difference.
Its really cool how the characters are based off of real mythology of clay or hand made dolls brought to life. Nearly every culture has their own version. Some are made of raw clay and are guardians. Others are carved into the tombs as afterlife guides and workers. Its neat how throughout time, this concept has shifted, changed, and evolved but never faded.
This is one of those movies that when I think about it it brings me back
