This is an intriguing, animated Tim Burton film set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic landscape. Get in touch with your steampunk/cyberpunk/industrial side as you see 9 miniature creatures stalked by giant, demonic machines.
Voiced by such acting greats as Jennifer Connelly, Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, and Christopher Plummer, the 9 characters are quirky and cute, and have the most expressive, engaging eyes.
An attempt to fight the machines and save their friends, takes the 9 characters deeper into their devastated world, and closer to discovering the meaning of the symbols on the talisman that awakens the killing machines.
This film is an absolute visual feast for those who enjoy earthy tones and textures, metals, stone, wood, and stormy skies. Note the links to The Wizard of Oz, and Nazi Germany, to complete this vision of a world gone wrong. Some of the scenes may be too frightening for little ones, but your boys will surely enjoy it. We couldn't tear our eyes away.
