[@laylaspana2559]

This movie was my absolute favorite through elementary school and, after rewatching it recently, there’s one really great detail that is constantly overlooked. When 9 meets 2, 2 looks at his hands and notices that they are different and more finished-looking. If you look at all of the dolls, their design improves as you go through the numbers. The most obvious difference is their hands and feet (compare 9’s smooth, finished hands to 1’s janky ones). Also, if you look from 1 through 9, you will notice that both their stitching and closure on their stomachs improves. The scientist was innovating while creating them. 1 (the first one) has crooked buckle closures and 9 (the last one) has a perfect zipper. It really is the smallest details that make the biggest difference for me. It really is a shame how many people have overlooked this film because it is too dark or because they don’t know about it

[@blueblank8287]

“2 is one of my favorite stitch-dolls in the movie.” Yes, good taste.

[@unicorniorhian]

To be honest, the thing that really scared me wasn't that the puppets died. It was specifically because of their souls being taken, which scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.

It's strange that 9 didn't become a big film. when I ask them at least, they don't even know what I'm talking about and think I made up what I'm saying, if I don't say it's a hoax and they hardly even believe me. most of them think it's ridiculous and silly and stupid and ask me roughly why I don't watch football or like cars instead, but cars usually seem cool to little kids and drive on the carpet, so I don't understand why today's young people are so fucking obsessed of cars. i've loved 9 my whole life and have become obsessed with that film and think it's strange that there hasn't been more bonus material and short films about 9. there should be a 2 about film 9 and a game on ps 5 where you can costume their characters or something like that.

[@vuhigins7890]

That movie.. is one of the few that I never forgot and even if I was young and couldn’t understand it all, I loved it! I watched it alone not so long after seeing Coraline so I probably was 4, 5 or 6 I can’t really remember. Anyway, I watched it in English and as a French speaker I couldn’t understand the dialogue.. But even without words I nearly perfectly understood the story! We discover the world with 9 and everything 9 does was the thing I would have done too, so I felt into it, I was literally 9, I was him! Who needs explanations when the main characters act like you would have?? All the ambiance, green light, gray world, the red eyes brings fear, not a bad fear that makes you have nightmares, no, a good fear, the fear that gave me the feeling that the dolls were alive and that they needed to fight and help each other to survive, it gave me determination and empathy. All the war and death didn’t really touched me. When you see the dead scientist 9 just pick up the piece and walks away, like him I wouldn’t have paid more attention to it either, it didn’t chock me, I knew what death was and crying or fearing would have been useless (it was already dead, can’t do anything, just leave it to "sleep"). For the war there was no blood (no disgust), no faces (you can’t identify), no focus on any character (you don’t see the peoples enough to fully realize) so no big deal. There was the deaths of some dolls but I wasn’t chock, 2 was surely gonna die (no surprise and I assumed he knew and accepted it too so no fear), 8 fight (no fear), that’s gonna sound mean but I was waiting for 1 to do that (he was supposed to die way earlier if you want my opinion…), that’s mean too but I didn’t pay much attention to 5 (I saw him as either a "clone" of 9 or a total random + you couldn’t do anything to save him so yeah, I accepted it very quickly), then there’s 6 (is death was "the right thing" to me, it means that he did all he had to do, he was complete) The thing that scares me the most were the machine/brain, the beast and the… other beast who used 2 to catch others. But even with those I wasn’t that scared, they nearly felt "humans" or at least animal (the 2 beast bow when he gives 8 to his "Queen", the first beast was trying to give life to his creator/"dad" and the machine was trying to get all parts of the soul of his own creator/"dad" together, I can’t tell why or even if what I’m saying is true but that was my impression..) So yeah, I loved that film. I loved the characters (very human to me), I loved the beasts (nearly cute in a way I guess), I loved the feelings shared, loved the story (easy enough for me to guess it but hard enough to not give away all the answers immediately and get bored). And even if it doesn’t seem right for children, If I watched it in french from the start or at an older age it wouldn’t have hit the same. I can’t recommend it or forbid it, it’s a unique experience, I can’t say anything else. 💕 Ayo whoever read all this you’re incredible, even I couldn’t… anyway, have a good day

[@pixlattono6693]

Also while they're "celebrating ", the song is "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" which I vividly remember that scene as a kid because I knew that song as a happy song from Wizard of Oz, so to be led into a sense of security only for everything to go wrong really scared me as a kid. It was just a perfectly executed scene with such unease and dread. That movie gave me nightmares for a week but it's still an underrated gem

That scene was actually what made me love the movie. It was such a twisted, dark mind fuck and little 8 year old me was smiling like an idiot, like, "omg that just happened that was scary yet epic" ...now that I typed this out, it's a bit more disturbing than funny...

[@judeymans]

Honestly, it's so upsetting to me that this movie was swept under the rug after the poor reception. There were plans for a sequel, because the original film (while fantastic as it is), was incredibly short, and we only got to see a fraction of the universe it was set in, but since it had such a mixed/poor reception, that sequel would never get the chance to come to fruition. There was so much unrealized potential with that story, Shane Acker clearly put his heart and soul into it, and it basically got pushed to the wayside. Another note about Shane Acker; the man doesn't get enough credit. Burton may have produced it, but it was Acker's baby. All in all, wonderful film, very disappointed that we didn't get to see it in full flesh.

The souls sort of "going into the machine" after they were taken scares the hell out of me. Humanity was able to build a machine- automata- that has the capacity to house HUMAN SOULS within it. No less, it was brought to life by human souls (or more accurately a fragment). The doll's souls are a fragment of the scientist's soul, meaning that their souls are human. So, taking into account that the machine can house, and was powered by human souls, maybe the machine has a conscience? Maybe its supposed to be an unorthodox take on a hypothetical machine's AI gaining conscience?

@@milenarkioshi4288 that's like saying "if you wanna stop spending on gasoline then get rid of your car" or "if you wanna stop suffering then just kill yourself" War is just a bigger scale of conflict and conflict is inevitable even in nature. To achieve peace you just need to BE at peace, it's easier if you take the meaning as personal thing. You can't control what others do with their peace and if you wanted to you'd just become a tyrant/dictator that will probably end up creating more conflicts than peace. I think ppl should appreciate movies like this more, cuz ik parents never gonna talk to kids about this kind of topics to enligthen their morality, while this kind of movies can give them a clear view or representation of how good and evil come in many shapes or acts, so that they can have something to refer to as they face situations while growing up.

A theory that I’ve had for a while is that each doll represents a different aspect of the inventors soul. 1 represents cowardice 2 represents ingenuity 3 and 4 represent curiosity 5 represents compassion 6 represents obsession 7 represents courage I could never tell what 8 represented. Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments 9 represents morality And the machine represents emotion, specifically rage

[@bunnyraptor420]

I think 8 is a little hard to pin down, because I see some overlap with him and 7, since he takes on a body guard role in the group. If 7 is courageous, yet calculated in what she does, I feel like 8 could be a combination of a similar bravery, and a need/want to provide protection. Maybe stemming from the scientist's regret when his machine rampages. If the scientist ever felt guilty about what happened, and felt he owed the world protection in some way, shape, or form, I feel like that part of him could have possibly manifested in 8. As for the machine, I feel like it could also represent things like drive and ambition, as it would make sense for a scientist/inventor to constantly strive to make something better.

[@livgeneral6487]

That's actually not a theory that's a fact that the soul has like 9 sections or something and each doll represents each one. Well I think it's 8 actually because of the twin doll dudes being the same thing I believe. I remember years ago looking into this movies lore more and it's actually a fact of the movie but I'm sorry it was so long ago I can't give sources or something. Ik a lot of the information can be found on an old Facebook page about this movie cause they seeded lore into posts that were made as notes by the scientist and they kept it going for a while but it wasn't that popular so it died out. But ik the whole sections of the soul thing into each number is cannon.
