9

The best description for the surprisingly entertaining 9 that I've seen is 'stitch-punk' - stitched puppets with mechanical workings in a ruined post-apocalyptic landscape where the threats come from other, fully-mechanised constructs. The action is non-stop and takes place against an effectively rendered backdrop, and there are several good voice actors in the mix too; it's not a classic of its kind, but still plenty diverting.
