Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

Movie should be good. As should his other Disney projects.

As for 9, the story follows 9, a sapient rag doll, played by Elijah Wood, who joins and helps lead a group of his own kind to protect humanity's fallen legacy on Earth from machines that roam the planet. It is a feature length adaptation of a short film.

The original was by Acker and the plot of the Short this.

9 is a sentient rag doll who appears to be the last of his kind, living in the ruins of a decaying parallel world, and is hunted relentlessly by a twisted mechanical beast that has killed eight of his rag doll kindred by stealing their souls with a canister-like talisman. 9 was formerly accompanied by his friend and mentor, the one-eyed 5, with whom he scavenged the ruins of their world in search of tools that would help them survive. However, the monster attacked 5 and stole his soul with its talisman, though 9 narrowly escaped with a similar, glowing talisman given to him by 5.

In an attempt to destroy the monster, 9 prepares a trap and lures it into an old building where it is briefly subdued, allowing 9 to steal its talisman. The monster breaks free and chases 9 through the building, cornering him on a wooden plank elevated high above the floor. Just as the monster crawls along the unstable plank and approaches him, 9 leaps to safety and knocks the plank down. The monster plummets to the floor below, impaled and killed by the falling plank. After setting up a memorial for his kindred, 9 puts the two talismans together to create a larger canister that releases the souls of all the monster's victims, including 5. Before vanishing, 5's spirit turns to 9 and gives him an approving nod. 9 sets off to parts unknown, leaving the canister behind.

If you haven't seen the short by Acker here it is. Link

Those pictures look great. Burton is clearly overrated, but I've enjoyed most of his films regardless. I thought Scissorhands was cool when it came out. Sure he's had some stinkers, but most directors do. I think he tries too hard sometimes. Sleepy Hollow is a good Halloween flick.
