research 9, the short

 Today we watched the short film 9, the plot was quite confusing. I thoroughly enjoyed the animation style. It reminded me of the Disney film 'toy story' but if maybe someone like Tim Burton had written it. It reminds me of toy story because there was a robot cat kind of thing, that reminded me of one of characters toys which was a baby head on a spider robot body. It also reminded me a little bit of another Disney movie called 'Wall-E', because of the animation style. It also reminded me of Wall-E  because of the fact that in the beginning they were a trash pile, from what it looked like. The characters were very cute, they looked like little burlap sack dolls, or burlap sack minions, because of their eyes. The lighting used was mostly dark and eerie, and there was very little speech. The lighting was almost like they were in a dust storm, because of the clouds. The main protagonist is one of the burlap sack dolls who is called '9' and he is who the whole film was about. One of the main antagonists was the cat that I mentioned earlier, which also seemed to be a cats skull on robot spider legs. Which also added to the fact that it reminded me of Tim burtons style. The plot was quite hard to decipher, because there was not much speech, which made it hard to tell what was going on. So you have to pay really close attention, but once you start paying attention you're immediately hooked because the characters are so cute. They're like little trash dolls, but with personality and professionally made.
