WHEN OUR WORLD ENDED THEIR MISSION BEGAN Academy Award®-nominated director Shane Acker teams up with two of the world’s most visionary filmmakers, Tim Burton (Alice In Wonderland, The Corpse Bride, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch, Day Watch), to bring a totally unique and visually stunning animated fantasy epic to screen. When the small rag doll 9 (voiced by The Lord of the Rings’ Elijah Wood) first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the landscape intent on doing them harm. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are ever to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. What follows is a sublime, heartwarming adventure where this most unlikely of heroes leads his troops into battle and, along the way, discovers that a band of miniature warriors may be the last hope for humanity.

"If you're a fan of eye-popping, dark, and slightly terrifying animated works, 9 should scratch that itch." Capone, AINTITCOOLNEWS.COM

"... a rich fantasy that is really refreshing in a world where sequels and remakes are constantly consumed every box office weekend... There is beauty and hope deep inside the nightmare, and you will certainly be moved by 9?s adventures." JimmyO, JOBLO.COM

"... Acker delivers an original end-of-the-world vision destined to give burlap a good name." Hugh Hart,WIRED.COM

"... 9 is visually sumptuous and artistically ambitious..." Vejvoda, IGN.COM

3 out of 4 "If you ask me, Shane Acker's post-apocalyptic animated film 9 is better than the live-action flick "District 9." Lou Lumenick, NEW YORK POST

"Comparing this to the summer's biggest, most bloated movie about malevolent robots, 9 is about twice as enjoyable with half the length." - James Berardinelli, REELVIEWS
