Beautifully crafted dolls, wonderful details. Knitted puppets, bestowed with (a part of) the soul of their creator, struggle to survive in a post-apocalyptic world from which humanity was wiped out by its own doing.
Moody with the occassional light note. Bit unbelievable coincedence / improbabiliy of events, "suddenly noticing" something, etc.
Story parallel with the humans who once destroyed themselves.
Produced by Tim Burton. Created by the same team that did "Coraline", so I guess I really do have to see that one as well (its DVD got 5 out of 5 stars recently). Directed by Shane Acker, who did animation on LoTR.
