Planning to make a whole day of nines, September ninth, 2009 brings us the movie 9. Featuring a whole slew of names like Tim Burton and Elijah Wood, this might be one of the best pedigreed animated films in a long time.

When humanity blasts itself into a slow choking oblivion, an inventor creates a set of nine sentient rag dolls to embark on a mission to save what's left of life on Earth. Check out the trailer.

I'm just amazed that Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter aren't involved. I was starting to think that Tim Burton couldn't go anywhere without bringing them along. But this one looks like it might be a great capper to the slowly waning summer movie season--or at least it will be by the time it comes out. Hit the comments section below and give us your thoughts on 9, and thanks for watching!

9 Cast: Elijah Wood, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau, Christopher Plummer, John C. Reilly
