Rating: 
I found myself struggling to fully immerse myself in this movie. The plot follows a group of rag-dolls who are the last remnants of our once familiar world, after machines turned against humanity and wreaked havoc. Each rag-doll is identified by a number sewn onto their backs, with the protagonist being number 9.
I must admit, the animation in this film is truly breathtaking and the world they have created is captivating. However, my main gripe lies with the story itself. It felt like a bizarre mashup of Edward Scissorhands and Fallout, which left me feeling a bit disconnected. The attempt to cater to both younger and adult audiences seemed to miss the mark in this case.
While I can appreciate the effort put into the animation, the story just didn’t quite hit the mark for me. Overall, I was left feeling more lukewarm than enthusiastic about the film.
