9 - by Tin Burton & in animation

This is a dvd rental....NOT the musical in the theaters right now. It was done by Tim Burton, the same guy who did "Nightmare before Christmas". I never saw "Nightmare" and I had no intention of seeing this. But I've seen everything else at blockbuster right now and thought it deserved a review.

This movie was actually alot better than I thought it would be. I was actually pausing it when I had to walk away. I usually don't do that if something is just on for noise and not getting my full attention. ;) Anyways, it was an ok movie. I'm glad I didn't pay more than $2 to rent it. But it was a very different, very new idea.

It's a post apocalyptic world and all the humans are dead. Dolls are given live by machines and these machines are running everything. It has the voices of Elijah Wood (from Lord of the Rings) and John C Reilly (Stepbrothers). The voices sort of matched the characters, but I wasn't loving it. You know how in some cartoons, the characters look like the voices? This one, not so much. If you are open to "watching anything" , then give this a go. Otherwise, I wouldn't rush out to rent it. Throw it on your Netflix list just put it in the middle of your queue. :)

It was animation and again, a different idea. I mean, it is the future after all the humans are dead. And from a doll's point of view. It was only an hour and a half, and I can honestly say, I was entertained!

So, I guess in this case....see you at the rental line. :) Don't forget the ice cream!
