Great animation and each doll have distinct characters. However I don't see any trait from 9 that really encourage others to follow him. The ending was also a bit hollow, compare to all the built up. Good movie to watch, if only for one time.
The reason I wanted to see this was to see some dark twisted fantasy about ragdolls living in a postapocalyptic setting, fighting for their lives. And that's what I got: visually stunning, beautiful grim environment, some nice action moments and a rather superficial story to tie it all together. The story moves pretty slow, almost to the point of boring, but the better parts made me deal with it and enjoy it all in all . Glad I saw it, won't be watching again, but sure hope there will be more 'dark' animated movies.
While the movie's visuals were very attractive and there was some creative scenery and beasts on screen the story itself was mostly a mess. And maybe not so much a mess as boring. The burlap creatures weren't very interesting. They had traits but no real personalities. The story is mostly about conflict between the leader of the burlap gang and "9" as they differ in their approach in defeating the evil...whatever they are. The ending concerns the burlap characters and their souls which were given to them by their creator before he fell victim to the fallout of the apocalypse. They lose their souls to the beast or machine or whatever it is and then fight to win them back or something. Its not very engaging anyway.
Solid 7/10
A rare dark animation that doesn't avoid gruesome reality. That said it's clearly marketed for a younger audience with it's happy ending but I still like it.
It is my childhood trauma
Finally got around too watching this Movie with my Daughters on Netflix, been wanting to watch this..The Animation is good, The Story is ok..Glad I got to watch this finally lol
Every bit a Tim Burton vibe - dark and mysterious. Well done.
I purposefully want to make this review nine words.
I watched this movie when i was a kid and i loved it then.It was interesting.

Surprisingly dark, spectacular animation and a decent story.
