Is the short film of the new "9" movie a spoiler of the entire story?
Question
I'm extremely excited about the movie. As much as I would hate to wait until 9-9-09 to get more of the movie than just the trailers, I would hate to watch the movie and know the basic plot and ending. Can someone, who has watched the short film by Shane Acker, tell me if they believe it spoils the story?

Answer
I don't think it spoils the story. It's a lot different. In the original short film (made in 2005), there is no dialogue and the only beanbag guy is "9". He fights a mechanized beast. The story is actually very well-told visually, conveying all sorts of information without words. From what I've seen in the trailers, the movie took the basic idea of the short (beanbag guys in a post-apocalyptic world) and expanded upon it, adding all sorts of characters and mythology. The movie will probably have a lot of adventures and, I *guess*, the main character will be "9". The short film is just a snapshot of 9's life. Basically he outsmarts one bad guy and avenges his old mentor. Just a quick 10-minute story. I don't even know if the "9" from the short is the same character as the "9" in the feature film. They might've just copied the name and the look. I wasn't interested in seeing the movie. Even with Tim Burton's involvement. It looked like something that should've been a video game. But when I learned about the original short I checked it out and it was very good. Definitely worth a watch, especially for animation fans. I still don't know if I want to see the movie, but I doubt the short spoils anything. It might just give you a taste of what it's all about. The short is available on YouTube, if you're interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IQcMeNh7Hc
