Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've gone on and on about Shane Acker's awesome animated short film 9, so I'll try to keep that to a minimum. Suffice to say that I'm desperate to see the feature version, especially after seeing this clip. Anyone else getting a kind of SECRET OF NIMH vibe from this? I don't mean stylistically, but NIMH scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid and the blow clip from 9 freaked me out right now. Not the wide-eyed 7 year old me, the horror-loving, haunted house attending 28 year old.

I've long been wanting to see a resurgence of family horror. Where are our SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES? This movie feels like what I want, set in an incredibly stylistic sci-fi setting. Here's the clip that premiered over at MTV! Enjoy!

PS There's an HD link just below the video on the MTV page, which should be your preferred viewing anyway, but I hear those in Canada and the UK that have trouble accessing the embed can still view the clip via the HD link on the MTV page!

PPS I'm told the HD link isn't working outside of the US, so you can always hit up YouTube, but it's crappier video.
