Pros: Brilliant animation, good script and excellent voice acting by Elijah Wood, Reilly, Connelly and Plummer
Cons: Somewhat derivative of films such as "Wall-E"

"9" is not the type of animated movie that you want to take your small children or grandchildren to.  The film is very dark and presents a world that would be both frightening and confusing to small children.  That said, it is the type of ...

Pros: Truly amazing animation; atmosphere, acting, and action.
Cons: We had such potential, such promise.  To bad we didn't live up to it.

9 (2009) Directed by Shane Acker"You remind me of him. You forget to remember to be afraid."  5When I first heard about 9, I did a little research.  Apparently this was based on Acker's short done at UCLA.  It was ...

Pros: A dark but fun story about androidal beings working together for mutual survival.

Pros: Character design
Cons: Plot, action sequences, animation, lines 

In less than a month’s time, there have been two feature-length films released nationwide which were based on short films. Many of you will likely recall District 9,which is all the rage on Twitter. District 9 was based ...

Pros: Visually impressive, somewhat creative, dark, action-packed.
Cons: Is sketchy on connecting emotionally with the viewers.

Pros: good animation, great plot, a lot of action
Cons: pretty short, not a lot of background
