9 was an animated film intended and advertized for adults. However, I found the movie more suited for a younger audience, prehaps a more young-adult audience (This is why I think the movie was appropriately rate PG-13) The Character's and storyline were obvious & straightforward, which was refreshing. Acker did a good job portraying an interesting and evolving post-apocolyptica. However, I found the ending a little stilted, uncomfortable, & brief. All in all, Elijah Wood gave a stunning vocal performance, and I found the movie very Tim-Burton-Esk, as he (Burton) was appropriately one of the many producers.
