Coraline

Nice, but can't help to be a bit sad that my own images are shattered by watching this film. It lacked the magic from "Nightmare before Christmas" and the such.

9 (2009)

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.
