9 Stole Our Souls - Group Movie Reaction 

This is one of these films of which you thought it just was a dream but years later it turns out, it was real after all...

Ah yes the "Wtf is the age rating " movie

To be honest, the thing that really scared me wasn't that the puppets died. It was specifically because of their souls being taken, which scared the crap out of me when I first saw it.

I feel like almost every "bad" movie that was portrayed for kids is actually a good movie that was just too mature for the audience it was advertised for.

1:52 not just 2009 9/9/2009

Here are 9 Fun Facts about “9” - This movie is based off Shane Acker’s original short film by the same title which after Tim Burton saw produced - The film’s release date was on September 9th, 2009 - Elijah Woods the voice of 9 was their first choice & while making the The Lord of the Rings the cast got tattoos with his being 9 - Notice on the clock of the Norte Dame church (which was also called sanctuary) is stuck on 9: 09 - The Scientist is voiced by Alan Oppenheimer the voice of Skeletor & while his last name maybe a reference to Robert Oppenheimer they are maybe related - Each of the Stitchpunks were made from clothing - One of the inspirations for the look was images of post-war Vienna - Each of the Stitchpunks are a small part of the Scientist’s soul each getting a different aspect of his personality - There maybe a possible sequel in the future

The meta lore around this movie is insane, i watched a deep dive on it years ago. There were fake news sites, propaganda posters, and other such shit that gave SO much extra background lore to the film. I wish i could get specific but as i said, watched the dive years ago. I encourage people to look it up.

9 is a underated film but a sad one. Plus the fandom wasn’t that bad they actually came up with great theories and how the sequel would be even though the idea of the sequel got canceled.

Once again the problem with the AI wasn't the AI, but the Military shitheads that abused it as a weapon.

I've loved this movie for years and i just realized the reason the scientist was alive even though the rest of humanity is dead was because the machine let him stay alive since he was it's creator

That Somewhere Over the Rainbow scene goes hard as fuck.

With all the Stitchpunks, the Scientist had essentially ripped away each layer of his psyche, starting at the surface and working in, 1 was the ego and hubris that led to all this in the first place, 2 was the disciplined scientist. 8 was his sheer strength as a human being, the will to keep moving forward, and 9 was the single most essential traits that made him who he was, hope and curiosity. Counting The Machine as 10, they would be the most surface level trait of all, intelligence, a trait that tells your nothing about who someone is, because rarely does it have any bearing on their nature as a human being.

There’s something I really love about the theme of “our creations will carry on our humanity even after we’re all gone.” It’s a theme this movie shares with the video game stray, and I love them both for it

A Little Nightmares style videogame in the 9 universe would be so cool.

YES it's such an underrated and unknown movie, love how creepy it is

11:28 The moment the REAL star of the movie appears. Good ole BRAIN and his robotic nightmare fuel.

this and Coraline scared the ever-loving hell out of me as a kid. Tim Burton, you twisted genius. EDIT: especially 3 & 4. the flashing lights gave me nightmares.

My favorite thing about this movie is the fact that they made a whole ARG to not only advertise the movie, but also give more lore/backstory to what happened

This movie has such a small but ridiculously devoted fanbase, any content is great content! Also fun fact you guys were kind of right about all the dolls being different people because that was the explanation given in the Russian dub

I actually met Elijah Wood and gifted him a “9” doll. He definitely liked it. I chose that character bc it was the first role I noticed him as. More than “happy feet”

9 is an underrated post-apocalypsic movie, there was nothing like it when it came out. That being said, I feel like the story would've gained a lot more popularity as a game or a series, the nightmare fuel creations made as well, it deserves a lot more credit.

Seeing The Machine be clearly concerned when its father is taken away from them is a minor gut wrench that makes you think on its actual psychology. This was a literal newborn created for peaceful purposes, that was forcefully taught how to be a literal war machine.

Apparently in the Russian version the dolls are based off people the scientists knew. 9 was the scientist, 7 was his wife, and the twins were his children

The welcome home song was perfect for 9

This movie felt like a sleep paralysis dream to me at first. It’s still one of my favorites.

9 Is One Of The Most Underrated Movies I Have Had The Pleasure To Watch.

The band "Coheed and Cambria" wrote the trailer song "Welcome Home." That song plus the trailer got me into watching this film. Also, Elijah Wood/Frodo was in this film as 9.

The creators revealed the Machine's motivations for taking the souls: it understood that they were parts of its creator, and was trying to resurrect him.

I remember when this came out, and I loved it. Despite not knowing what was going on the entire time.

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ANIMATED MOVIE!!! It's also my favorite number. 😆

If y'all haven't watched it yet, I'd love to see you guys react to Rango (2011). It's an underrated masterpiece IMO.

Something funny about this movie is that it released in 09/09/2009

In the movie, the gas truly killed everything, not even the rot survived, everything was mummified, only after the souls flew into the sky, only then did at least some bacteria and microbes were reborn again. Maybe due to everything dying at the same time and being left untouched, maybe the rain will wake the dead…

9 scared the living shit out of me as a kid, idk why I watched it at night since my parents were out of the house for a while, it was I guess the only thing I could watch on TV on that hour but man it did not allow me to sleep confortably for longer than it should have ;)

What's interesting about 1 is his ideology didn't change. His core principle was sacrifice, in the most Machiavellian sense.

I just realised that the romance between 7 and 9 is basically the seven ate nine joke.

I was 9 ( badumtsss 🥁) the first time I watched that film and it disturbed me so badly 😂 but it's such a great movie. Probably one of my favorite dystopian pieces ever. The lore is just so interesting. Speaking of lore, the movie ironically was released on 9/9/2009 and from what I know it was inspired by a short film released a couple years earlier. Months before the release of the movie they published the professors notes and diary entries or something as well as little „video tapes“ about the machine etc on a website really hyping up the lore for this film and making a mystery out of it which for back in 2009 really was special. Pretty cool If you ask me.

I was so upset Welcome Home didn't play in the actual film but I really did enjoy the film when it came out. it was so imaginative and interesting.

YESSSSSS! The most horrific children's movie in all of existence!! Definitely did not scare me as a kid and influence my tastes in sci-fi once bit.

9 is one of my favorite movies. It falls off my radar, then it comes back and I dive back in. I’ve been doing this since it came out. It’s a hidden, special little gem. The fight scenes are insane, the storyline makes you think, the animation is captivating. The design?? Bro don’t even get me started. Stuff of nightmares without being truly grotesque. Brain children, truly intelligent designs, that pluck at my most deep rooted feelings. Amazing movie. Amazing.

In a way I almost feel bad for the Fabrication Machine. I remember there being a bunch of promo stuff supposedly from the Scientist that said the Machine essentially had a mental breakdown due to the stress and demands of the war, and that it eventually lashed out.

24:16 This was, for me, the scene that solidified all my nightmares for a good 5+ months and later turned into a still present fear. Everything about it was masterfully done in the most horrifying way possible. The lack of sound apart from the off-tune happy music, the way the machine's form was slowly revealed through the smoke, I've yet to ever feel the same amounting dread in any form of media. Still gives me the creeps even now!

One of my favorite of underrated movies ever. The Coheed and Cambria trailer got me pumped to watch it as a kid also.

Easily one of the best movies of my childhood. I watched this so many times growing up.

20:56-21:00 "All glory to Hypnotoa----oooooooooh my god!" Legit made me laugh to point of tears! XD Also this monster is called The Seamstress and was the source of many a nightmare for me when this film came out.

I honestly wasn’t expecting this to come on my notifications, but I ain’t complaining. People hardly talk about this movie and definitely was an experience for me as a kid. Glad to see more people getting to see this small gem.

9 was the scientist, who created the machine. 7 was his wife. 3 and 4 - the twins - their kids. 2 was the scientist’s assistant. 6 - the drawing one - was the engineer. 5 was the medic, which saved someone’s life (don’t remember who). 1 was a dictator and 8 was his bodyguard. The movie was made in association with Russian authors, such as Bekmambetov (movie director) and Glukhovsky (creator of Metro 2033). So Russian dubs got extra voice lines explaining the plot throughout the movie.

I just realized how dark this movie is because I see 9 like 5 times when I was 7 years old and I love it still to this day

“Oh like plants and shit” 😂. But also 🥹

This was the first “kid’s movie” I saw that filled me with literal blood chilling dread. 10/10 gonna be showing this to my future kids 😂

Literally rewatched this movie just minutes ago , cause this reaction reminded me that it exists lmao, really good movie

Even among the bangers of today, 9 remains my #1 favorite of all time

As a diabetic who was diagnosed a few months ago I can confirm I would survive just about every apocalypse. If I don't get any insulin even if I ate a bunch of less sugary foods they would eventually build up and put me into a coma or leave me so weak I'd be killed by any of the things in the apocalypse. I've thought about this hypothetical situation before

And just to remind everyone, it made all those machines in a day using scraps of whatever was lying around. Imagine the type of shit it made when it was funded by humans and had access to refined resources.

The fact that I'm watching this 9 days after you posted it, clearly it was meant to be :D

I adore this movie. Saw it a few times in the theater and got it on BluRay as soon as it was released. It is such an underappreciated masterpiece. People hated the pacing, the story, and the overall dark theming as it was largely thought to be a kids movie when people went to see it in theaters. It's a stunning work of art that had incredible advertising techniques but unfortunately it just bombed at the box office.

I am very glad you guys watched this. I remember watching it nonstop as a child being fascinated by the story, concept, and of course characters. It brough back so much memories.

This film left an impact on me when I saw it back in the day because I had never seen a kids movie that brutally murdered so much of the main cast

Man everyone says coraline was terrifying but 9 takes the cake

that snake-doll-spider thing is the scariest thing in this movie

What I think the 9 splitted personalities of the professor are: 1: pride and cowardice 2: compassion and empathy 3/4: curiosity and memory 5: helpfulness and resourcefulness (acc all of them are resourceful but 5 seems like the doctor of the group) 6: insanity and knowledge 7: independence and courageousness 8: brute strength and loyalty 9: quick-wittedness, responsibility and a little naivety (also courageousness)

This movie has existed in the deep reaches of my mind. And finally I remember it.

I love that you guys love this movie as much as I did as a kid 😆

I LOVED this movie when it came out, and as ive aged, its gotten even better. On a side note, neuralink isnt what it needs to be to replace physical interaction with devices (yet) but it has been inspiration for several technologies that bypass injuries in the nervous system so that people can learn to walk or use their hands again. Pretty awesome result tbh

The commercials for this used the song "Welcome Home" ☺️ Which as an adult now seems wildly inappropriate, but as a kid it was a really cool choice

The hair on erics face makes him look like hes got a badass battle scar

I was so obsessed with this film back when I was 13-14 years old to the point I lost friends because I never stopped talking about it 😅 Looking back, the film is good, especially as a more mature children's film, but it really needed that extra 20 minutes... Yep. A popular theory was that 1 had a human who was close to him and gave him the cape but sadly the sequel got cancelled so the fandom basically created more fanfics and theories than the Lorax one did 3 years later.

fun fact: russian version has COMPLETLY different story. Three times the dialouge

The first movie I watched will always resonate with me, the apocalypse genre stories are always gonna be the most meaningful to me

This movie scared me as a kid but i still loved it And the designs of the monsters.

The life in the raindrops was what got me when I first watched it

I've been obsessed with this movie for a solid year.

man, i was obsessed with this when i was younger. i had it on dvd and everything. i think it still maintains an influence in my personal work

This film gave me nightmares as a kid, especially since there was some kind of detector on the wall of my room (a guage or something) that had a single red light on it. That red light terrified me after seeing this and gave me all the nightmares.

I JUST rewatched this movie this week and I can't believe the timing of this LET'S GOOOOO

This movie f´ck me up when I was kid. Loved it!

I remember watching this one in theaters when I was 7. I was blown away. It's still my favorite movie.

9 in my opinion is still the most underrated animated movie of all time, at this moment in time. It took this long for the movie reaction community to discover it. Thank god it finally got discovered.

That snake bot was horrific when I was a kid. And it still is.

This video gave me an Anton Ego style flashback to being 16 and obsessed with this freaky little movie ❤

This movie was so good! I didn't understand it much as a kid and remembered it as just kinda depressing but I really liked it after rewatching it after I got older...

and i was 6 when this came out and i have been watching it ever since

You know that the souls of the stichpunks who died being used to revitalise the earth was fucked up and cruel right? 5... 2... 6... 8.... 1... they were 9's friends, his family, and he, them, all of them went through so much suffering to live, only to die. 9 is going to miss them.... especially 5. He only wanted them back... or to at least go to heaven. But they were used, without their knowledge or consent, their souls spattered all over the clouds, possibly resulting in not just their death... they'll cease to exist if the rain doesn't bring them back. So not only us rooting for them to live... was all for nothing, but 9 will never see them again, not even the afterlife.

I love Christopher Plummer he always plays such great characters and i think about his line from this movie all the time. "They left us nothing. Nothing. Why do we have to right their wrongs? Sometimes, One must be sacrificed."

I once thought that this was some random memory I made up from my childhood since I completely forgot that this movie existed, I only ever found out that it was a movie I had watched years ago. I was so glad that I found it again, though it is quite darker than what I remembered still love it though

RIP AKIRA TORIYAMA ❤

This movie came out the year I graduated high school. I remember watching it in 3D in theaters when it came out.

Definitely an underrated and fantastic movie :D and came out on the absolutely perfect date of 9/9/2009 cgvhbj XD

I loved this movie. But I was also 19 when it came out so I could understand it and also not be creeped tf out. lol

imagen 12y/o me watching this. loving it, and at night being HORRIFIED (i cant even remember the cobra from first time watching, only the dog and ''something'' flying)

Now, this is something that I haven’t watched in years. Like you guys said, it’s a film about a post-apocalyptic world that surrounds itself with those that survived. What makes it truly unique is that we start by seeing everyone and everything being dead as a result of the cataclysmic event and then, we get to see how everything else became unfolded through the characters that happens to be the essence of the one who gave mankind the power to accelerate our demise, unwilling. Finally, the souls that have been liberated by the machine were reborn to be the next microorganisms that will eventually, evolve and spread out; therefore bringing back life on Earth.

funny thing is, some people thought this movie was in the same universe as Meet the Robinsons

9 is one of my favorites, heavily underrated and I am so happy you guys even watched it to begin with because there are not many people that know it in the first place.

One of my favorite childhood movies 🍿

"A CLASSIC"

You guys make my day everyday when i watch your videos. Keep up the good work! I just bought a membership to support y'all! You're the only yt channel that i've ever got a membership for that is how amazing your content is. Keep doing what y'all do, you are all amazing!

Can we please acknowledge how terrifying the machine is? It has so much sentient thats its able to make new creatures in a matter of seconds.

My dad took me to see this when I was 11 years old. It opened me up to much darker deeper media afterward. I adore this movie.

I seriously wonder more and more what people were thinking calling some things "kids movies"- seriously, like it makes no sense to call 9, Harry Potter (the entire series, not just the first movies/books), and tons of others kids movies just because theyre animated or dont include tons of cursing or gore or sexual content- these things have suspense, mystery, horror, action, comedic aspects, theres tons of depth to these types of movies and just because they're animated or not super graphic doesnt make them exclusively for kids

I saw this movie the year it came out (I was like 7 years old) and it was the only scary movie (or slightly scary movie) I watched as a kid that didn’t give me nightmares or scare me. I still love this movie. Edit: grammar
