9: This visionary world was first created as a short subject by Shane Acker, a student at UCLA, and was nominated for a 2006 Oscar.  At the time I found it “an atmosphere of creeping, crashing, menace ... elaborated as a game of hide-and-seek, beautifully animated and intriguingly unwholesome.”  So it is still, as the first figure, named 9, meets his similar predecessors, No. 1 through No. 8, and they find themselves in battle against a Transformer-like red-eyed monster called the Beast. PG-13. Three stars — Roger Ebert
