9 Movie Vs 9 Short Film

 The movies are the same when it comes the amazing concept and theme but there were many noticeable differences. They way they portrayed the characters were the same as the characters look alike, but simple enough to tell apart, not least because their numbers are stitched on their backs.The film is beautifully animated, with beautiful textures and plenty of dynamic character animation. Their burlap bodies have a burlap feel. There's stitching all over. The copper eyes and hands gaze softly at the coin. It's lovely. 

Yeah, nine of them all look the same, but you never run the risk of not being able to tell any of them apart because of a number of very slight distinctions. They have distinct visual features, too. However the characters have voices and dialogue with the extended version rather than the short film. They all have distinctive voice actors which is very interesting. Especially the female, #7 , when the animation has the stitch puppet. The imagery also seemed to be clear and updated than the short film. 

The extended version added more descriptions and background than with the short film. With the short film, you had to try to understand what was going on to make sense of the whole situation, especially at the end. The plot does not include an endgame unlike the extended version. The extended version might be kind of bleak as it is including way more stuff that seems to be a average apocalyptic story line, but it does have elements of adventure and commitment. Many may criticize it to be a generic plot. 

The short film seems to have a video game feel to it through the animation while the extended version seems brighter in character and suspense, carrying a feel of movement more. This is probably because the directors,  Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov produced the film, adding their own dark twists to the production and introducing some action scenes with the works of Acker's animation. Although I sometimes just want the storyline. The in and outs of the action scenes have made me even more interested in the works of the movie and production.
