A few months back we showed you the gorgeous first trailer for Shane Acker’s 9, a post-apocalyptic animated adventure that tells the story of a doll-esque little guy named 9 who is tasked with saving the world. As we told you before, the film looks really amazing, as did the original short film of the same name from Acker.

You can see a brand new clip from the film called “Under Attack,” courtesy of MTV (where it can also be seen in High Definition), below. 9 is in theaters on September 9, 2009 and will feature the voices of Elijah Wood, John C. Reilly, Jennifer Connelly, Crispin Glover, Martin Landau and Christopher Plummer.

The soundtrack has a very "Batman Begins"/"The Dark Knight" feel to it...

I'm not talking about the screeching or white noise... but when there were epic moments in those films.

Hecks, yes! That looks freaking awesome! I'm definitely looking forward to this movie.

Wow. Excellent clip I can't wait to see this movie.

Atomic Popcorn

Wow, that really looks like a fabulous movie, creepy but fabulous.

Jackie

Wow, this clip leaves you with your jaw dropped.

Nein!

I was interested to see how the short film would translate into a movie, but this clip has left me unimpressed. The first thing that stood out was how much more colorful, high-key, and less gritty it was-- probably to attract the younger audience. The monster design was cool, but come on, the clip shows the romantic interest being kidnapped. It seems like the chilling feeling the short film left me with won't be anywhere near the movie.
