The new clip from animated sci-fi flick 9 freaks me out!

DAMN YOU MTV FOR NOT PLAYING OUTSIDE THE US by CampKoala	Apr 19th, 2009 11:54:31 AM
goes to look on YouTube
Reminds me of a Tool Video by Nivek666	Apr 19th, 2009 11:55:06 AM
but looks interesting. Not sure if parents will bring their precious little rugrats to it.
FUCK YOU MTV by Crashbang	Apr 19th, 2009 11:57:02 AM
For making me watch a fucking advert when I can't see the video. I made a vow never to buy any product advertised in this way and KSwiss have been added to the list. Fuck you K Swiss.
Freaky. by fiester	Apr 19th, 2009 11:58:48 AM
I dunno if I would take a little kid to see that. Would prolly give them nightmares.
This looks really cool. by Ironhelix	Apr 19th, 2009 12:01:35 PM

Is this the clip that MTV are hosting badly? by CampKoala	Apr 19th, 2009 12:01:38 PM

Koala by Quint	Apr 19th, 2009 12:06:43 PM
Yeah, it is. Looks shoddy there, though. Can you click on the HD link to view the clip on MTV? I'm curious to see if that actually works. The guys at MTV say that the HD link on their page can be viewed outside of the US.
Hi Quint by CampKoala	Apr 19th, 2009 12:08:52 PM
cheers but no, I get the same stupid advert followed by you can't watch this
F@#K MTV!!! anyone out there link to INTERNET friendly viewing?? by tbdeinc	Apr 19th, 2009 12:09:31 PM
Total B.S. on restrictions from MTV and all others...
someday these guys are going to realize by theneonsamurai	Apr 19th, 2009 12:11:49 PM
it's a global market.. hopefully.
DON'T POST ON THE INTERNET if you restrict the viewing... by tbdeinc	Apr 19th, 2009 12:12:12 PM
this is definately the #1 way of pissing people off.
double fuck mtv internet friendly hmm I like that term by skiff	Apr 19th, 2009 12:15:31 PM
fuck mtv fuck hulu fuck nbc fuck cbs fuck abc none are internet friendly.
I can't wait for this by megatom5	Apr 19th, 2009 12:16:31 PM
I agree that it reminds me of Tool mixed with sackboy but that's not bad whatsoever. Nivek666 I don't think this is aimed at little kids more like the 12+ crowd, but it doesnt look any more scary than Coraline or NBC. I'm just glad that they are willing to make serious dark animation films. If you haven't seen the short film 9 it's worth checking out. I kind of think it's a sequel to the movie though just based on what litttle I know about it.
Flippin Sweet by Gooch1195	Apr 19th, 2009 12:18:56 PM
That has got to be the coolest animation since the Nightmare and Corpse. I have to say, I WANT THAT FILM TO BE GREAT. Im older than dirt, not really, but I feel like it and that made me feel like I was 16 all over again when Nightmare came out. Thanks for the post. I loved it.
there should be a stamp "INTERNET FRIENDLY" for non-restriction. by tbdeinc	Apr 19th, 2009 12:23:24 PM
x
and an "A$$ HOLES" stamp for everyone else... by tbdeinc	Apr 19th, 2009 12:24:32 PM

Amazing by David Lazarus Long	Apr 19th, 2009 12:28:07 PM
This just got put right at the top of my must see list. Great atmosphere. Been waiting for something like this to be made. Spider/snake thing reminded me of Kankuro's freaky puppet things... Got flashes of the Neverhood, too. I think it was their eyes. And was that Sir Ian as the old man that got tied up? Or is that too much wishful thinking?
It works for me by Monkey Butler	Apr 19th, 2009 12:31:26 PM
And I'm in Australia... I understand restricting US TV sites to US users for licensing reasons, but shit like trailers being blocked for anyone other than yanks is an absolute joke.
Great!! by Harold-Sherbort	Apr 19th, 2009 12:33:02 PM
This definitly looks fantastic, and I'm glad there was no Coheed and Cambria to be found. They sucks balls.
here is the "INTERNET FRIENDLY" stamp... by tbdeinc	Apr 19th, 2009 12:37:27 PM

The HD link DOES work... by TroutMaskReplicant	Apr 19th, 2009 12:50:46 PM
It's a bit hit and miss. Click the 720p till a pop up opens with a quicktime vid.
What is the release date on this? by kafka07	Apr 19th, 2009 12:52:38 PM
I'm looking forward to it. It's odd to hear the characters speak when they don't in the original short film, but I guess it would be alienating to not have them speak in a full length film.
FUCK. YES. by DOGSOUP	Apr 19th, 2009 12:54:57 PM
Ill take three of these please the very first day.
Worked fine for me and I'm in Ireland by kendragon	Apr 19th, 2009 12:58:41 PM
Embed didnt work but clicking the HD720 underneath worked perfectly. Wow... this film looks great. Good to see an animated film that still has the balls to be creepy... its one of the things I liked about nightmare and corpse bride.
Release date 9-9-09 by Bagel13	Apr 19th, 2009 01:08:52 PM
honestly
Agreed . Fuck you MTV by wowsah156	Apr 19th, 2009 01:25:40 PM

PLEASEBEGOODPLEASEBEGOODPLEASEBE GOOD... by FlickaPoo	Apr 19th, 2009 01:44:09 PM
...and not just stylish. Still like the wordless short better, but tough to make a full length movie that way...WALL-E notwithstanding.
what I don't understand by CampKoala	Apr 19th, 2009 01:45:04 PM
(having finally got the HD link to work) is how come they can have a link to a version for the world to see as well as an embedded version that says this video cannot be played outside of the US? Either it can or it can't. I suggest you say it can.
TIP ON HOW TO PLAY THE VIDEO OUTSIDE OF THE US by stifmeister007	Apr 19th, 2009 01:56:14 PM
Download and install HotSpot Shield. http://anchorfree.com/download s/hotspot-shield/ This way, you can view all videos no matter the restrictions.
2009...the end of the Farting CGI Animal craze? by Nasty In The Pasty	Apr 19th, 2009 02:04:05 PM
Except for Ice Age 3, there isn't one of those FCA movies coming out this year. Coraline, Up, 9, Miyazaki's Ponyo, Tim Burton's Frankenweenie...2009 is shaping up to be an unusally varied year for cool animation.
I've met Shane... by CENOBITE	Apr 19th, 2009 02:07:21 PM
A very cool and humble chap. Hope this does well.
I'm not saying it doesn't look good. But this will bomb. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 19th, 2009 02:12:14 PM
No way in hell will mainstream audiences rush to this.
If Coraline could do nearly $80 million... by Nasty In The Pasty	Apr 19th, 2009 02:14:57 PM
...then this has a shot.
That looks... by pk68	Apr 19th, 2009 02:15:02 PM
really cool...never heard of it till now.
That scene is fantastic. It looks just like the design of some.. by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 19th, 2009 02:15:45 PM
...video game. I can't think of which though. I'm thinking it was on PS1.
Coraline is more little girl oriented.... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	Apr 19th, 2009 02:17:10 PM
....and it had the "FROM THE DIRECTOR OF NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS" title.
Watcher in The Woods and Something Wicked by beefywhore	Apr 19th, 2009 02:17:46 PM
Are the 2 movies that made me love Horror. Then I graduated to Alien and Poltergeist. I have my first kid on the way right now. I hope there are movies like Watcher and Wicked that help make Him or Her a fan of the genre too.
Wow! by Azlam Orlandu	Apr 19th, 2009 02:27:07 PM
That was fucking great. Hopefully the rest of the film lives up. I love the style.
This movie looks fucking awesome by Frisco	Apr 19th, 2009 02:32:25 PM
The short is at http://preview.tinyurl.com/2lz 8nf and is something that I love to share with friends. This new clip gives me great confidence that the feature is going to live up to and hopefully surpass the short. I wasn't sure if I'd like the voices, but they seem fine. Wow, what a clip.
Danny D by FormerEnglandPropJasonLeonard	Apr 19th, 2009 02:50:19 PM
I think the game your talking about is abes oddworld, thats what i took frm the clip anyway
rip off of drywall? by darkpassenger	Apr 19th, 2009 03:16:47 PM
the characters look very similar to drywall from scud the disposable assassin, even the bad guy in the clip looked like a rob schrab creation
How can that freak anyone out.. by PezQ	Apr 19th, 2009 03:24:52 PM
..I just watched a travel-show where a young african boy killed a puppy by biting it's throat. THAT was freaky. Is can still hear the puppy in my head.
Looks pretty neat by Subtlety	Apr 19th, 2009 03:39:29 PM
I just hope the story, dialogue, and atmosphere can live up to the promise of the film's look. The clip sounds promising. But remember that "robots" had an impressive look and a decent cast too. I'd love for this one to rock as hard as it looks like it could, but I remain a little skeptical. Maybe I'll watch the original short and get a sense of what Shane Acker's directorial chops are like...
No Problem Showing the commercial outside the US by Sophism	Apr 19th, 2009 04:02:33 PM

Hell yes. by ebonic_plague	Apr 19th, 2009 04:31:47 PM
I'd like two tickets to whatever the hell that was, please.
Hey, what song... by Toonol	Apr 19th, 2009 04:33:27 PM
played over the theatrical trailer?
Toonol by ebonic_plague	Apr 19th, 2009 04:56:16 PM
Apparently it's Welcome Home, by Coheed & Cambria.
Actually surprised how cool this looks. by gnarwhal_evan	Apr 19th, 2009 04:58:20 PM
The character design for that snake/bug thing is sweet. I watched the trailer awhile ago and was really underwhelmed but this maybe piqued my interest.
Yeah, the trailer by BeatsMe	Apr 19th, 2009 05:24:29 PM
didn't excite me too much, mostly cuz of that godawful lite-metal soundtrack, but this has me hooked
Not watching this by StrokerX	Apr 19th, 2009 05:24:32 PM
goin in clean! I already know this is going to be bad ass.
Anybody here play LittleBigPlanet? by TheWaqman	Apr 19th, 2009 05:34:16 PM
Yeah designs look similar. Except the short film of this came out before the game was announced. Movie looks fucking awesome.
Looks way cool... by sfgeek	Apr 19th, 2009 06:15:51 PM
I'm pretty stoked for this picture. I applaud Quint on his comparison to The Secret of Nimh... that show scared the bejeesus out of me as a child (it still does sort of). 9 looks awesome... can't wait.
Prince doing Target ads, by Wrecks	Apr 19th, 2009 06:20:48 PM
before the clip, is a sure sign of the Apocalypse... but 9 looks amazing!
In Prince's defense by ur-vile	Apr 19th, 2009 06:43:22 PM
LotusFlow3r is a pretty good album. His first rock record since The Gold Experience. The other 2 disk are forgettable though
Little Big Planet by T 1000 xp professional	Apr 19th, 2009 06:46:18 PM
I better not be the only one... what were those lights in "It" called btw something lights lol
lolalright cool by T 1000 xp professional	Apr 19th, 2009 06:48:16 PM
I'm not the only one.. Man, I wanna like this but nothing about it has really pulled me in. I'm all for different animation, but I'd love to find out a little more about these characters instead of the heavyrock and intense action scenes they're marketing. If that's how it is then I'll just wait for the reviews.
It IS like a Video Game and in a good way. by G100	Apr 19th, 2009 07:00:19 PM
Like a superb end of level Boss. And BTW DGDB the PS1 Game MediEvil had a dead knight who has a similarity to the skull head.

Fingers crossed by reaper28	Apr 20th, 2009 02:24:11 AM
the script is as good as the visuals. BTW, the HD version on YouTube is perfectly fine to watch.

pause it, let it download all the way then right click on the video and choose save as source, then save to your harddrive and watch the file from there..its much niser that way. the resize looks like shit when its embedded.

This isn't the 1st, 2nd or 3rd time acn reviewers/newspeople have posted US resticted stuff on HULU or whatever. Fuck, the australian correspondant even did it once! Do you want to lose your international viewers? Because you're pisssing me off to very damn near the point where I'm just about to say fuck this place and not visit aymore. I know you don't give a shit but I thought I'de be a polite motherfucker and let you know anyway.

Looks amazing. by NubtheSquirrel	Apr 20th, 2009 11:38:31 AM
I must have watched that trailer no less then twenty times after I saw the trailer with Friday the 13th. That little bit of footage has just piqued my interest even more. September 9th can't come soon enough.
Trailer song by frozen01	Apr 20th, 2009 12:49:07 PM
No "apparently" about it... it is Welcome Home, by Coheed and Cambria. That's an AWESOME choice, spliced together perfectly for the trailer, like "The Beginning is the End is the Beginning" was for the Watchmen trailer. I'm really glad to see a lot of top-notch rock songs making their debut to a larger audience as a vehicle for conveying emotion in movie trailers. Pure awesomeness!!!!!! :)
Yeah by Cobbio	Apr 20th, 2009 04:15:55 PM
Damn, that looked great! From the clip, I was instantly drawn into that world and found myself caring about the characters. That almost never happens for me with animated films. When the worm grabs Nine and slithers away with her as she's desperately calling for help, that gave me goosebumps. Wow, that was really good!
Correction... by Cobbio	Apr 20th, 2009 04:20:00 PM
I meant when Seven is getting dragged away, and Nine is going after her.
Looks great by Walter_Burns	Apr 23rd, 2009 03:51:34 PM
Seen several clips of this now - really hope the finished film lives up to 'em. Fingers crossed it gets decent distribution.
MTV should be destroyed by Nabster	Apr 25th, 2009 01:06:34 PM
