MTV has scored a clip to the upcoming animated film 9. Shane Acker directs the film, which is based on his short of the same title (view that here). The clip provides a better look at some of the enemies the protagonists will be facing.
When 9 first comes to life, he finds himself in a post-apocalyptic world. All humans are gone, and it is only by chance that he discovers a small community of others like him taking refuge from fearsome machines that roam the earth intent on their extinction. Despite being the neophyte of the group, 9 convinces the others that hiding will do them no good. They must take the offensive if they are to survive, and they must discover why the machines want to destroy them in the first place. As they’ll soon come to learn, the very future of civilization may depend on them.
Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, John C. Reilly, Christopher Plummer, Crispin Glover and Martin Landau provide the voices.
9 is set for theatrical release on September 9th.
