9

Produced by Tim Burton and directed by Shane Acker, 9 ($25) isn't your typical animated film — and we mean that in the best way possible. Set against the apocalyptic backdrop of humanity's final days, 9 tells the story of nine small rag dolls, brought to life by a scientist, who must fight against the machines to save both themselves and the other survivors. Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, and John C. Reilly headline the voice talent.
