Synopsis:  A rag dolls awakens in a post-apocalyptic future. It will meet others like him, and discover more about this world.
Review: In this movie you can recognize the influence of the two producers: Tim Burton for the doll with a soul, and Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch, Wanted) for the borrowings to Matrix. The director is also responsible for a short movie with the same name (from 2005), so I guess he came up with the original idea for the story. I thought at first it was a small animation movie, but when I saw the cast for the voices I realized it was a big project, trying to create an even with a release on the 9.9.09. The qualiy of the images is very good. It is interesting to find an animation film taking place in such post-war environement. The movie should contain enough action, but also character development, to satisfy most viewers.
