History YMMV / Nine

** After the stitchpunks defeated the Winged Beast, their safehouse a cathedral is on fire is hard to look at in light of Notre Dame De Paris' destruction by fire in April 15th, 2019.

* SlashFic: And God knows there's a lot of it for a movie about sackdolls. 5/9, [[MayDecemberRomance 5/2]], 5/6, [[OppositesAttract 6/8]], [[FoeYay 1/2]]...

** 2's death and funeral scenes may be sadder to watch given Creator/MartinLandau's 2017 passing.

** After the stitchpunks defeated the Winged Beast, their safehouse a cathedral is on fire is hard to look at in light of Notre Dame De Paris destruction by fire in April 15th, 2019.

* HarsherInHindsight: 2's death and funeral scenes may be sadder to watch given Creator/MartinLandau's 2017 passing.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: Many fans have expressed... disappointment with the edited version aired on Creator/{{Syfy}} and USA. Apparent edits included [[spoiler: removal of dialogue, removal of the light staff building scene, and removal of the factory chase scene.]]

* TearJerker: Now has its own page.

* CrazyAwesome: Getting [[TheStoner high on magnet usage]] and [[DumbMuscle lacking in brainpower]] doesn't stop 8 from being a hardcore (and [[ImprobableAimingSkills surprisingly accurate]]) ''badass'' who takes down machines many times larger than himself with kitchen tools.

** Despite the fact that it's rated '''PG-13''',the movie's genre is labeled as Kids & Family. Kind of surprising, considering the fact that [[spoiler: a total of nine sentient beings (1, 2, 5, 6, 8, Mr. Fab, the Cat, the Winged, and the Seamstress) get brutally killed]] over the course of the movie.

* CargoShip: There is someone out there who ships 1xHis Cape. Dead serious here. 8xHis Sword also exists. As does 8xHis Magnet.
** Did you see the look on his face? 8xMagnet is ''canon''.
* CrackPairing: Since it's got so few characters and everybody is a machine, anything and everything has been shipped together, mostly for laughs. Pairing male characters together is of course the most popular practice, and probably a given since the majority of fans are female. 6, being an EnsembleDarkhorse, is the one most subject to pairings, mostly with 5 or 9. See HoYay, LauncherOfAThousandShips, ShipTease and SlashFic below.
** At least one fanfic exists shipping [[GrumpyOldMan 1]]xThe Winged [[KillAllHumans Beast]]. BrainBleach, please...
*** Seamstress X [[CoolOldGuy 2]] is growing in popularity, too. [[FridgeHorror Wait, isn't that necrophilia]]?

* CrossoverShip: As mentioned above, thanks to their many similarities, there are a number of fans out there who ship the Fabrication Machine [[RoboShip with]] [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].
* CultClassic: The actual movie did average/above average in box office and received mixed reviews. However, it's got a respectably-sized fanbase.

* FandomEnragingMisconception: If you value your life, don't call this a Tim Burton movie in front of the fans. Tim Burton was only a producer, the director is actually Shane Acker.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: 7's failed BigDamnHeroes moment against the Winged Beast.
-->"Let me try that again."

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: 2 seems to be a living manifestation of this trope. And just try not to smile when [[spoiler: 1's soul silently thanks 9.]] Oh, hell, just the entire scene when [[spoiler:the fallen Stitchpunks' souls are freed.]]
** There's also the deleted scene after the factory is destroyed where 1 makes amends with 9 and accepts him after admitting he's not as good of a leader he had made himself out to be. Immediately followed by a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment|s}} when his crown falls off and reveals the silly little knot on his head, which both 9 and 1 laugh at.

* ItWasHisSled: Since promotional videos released before the film showed the Seamstress, with 2's body strung onto her tail, it's generally common and open knowledge that 2 dies. Especially since it happens very early in a relatively short movie.
* ItsShortSoItSucks: A consistent criticism of the movie is its 72-minute runtime, barely counting it as feature-length. This came both from critics and from fans who came in anticipating a 2½-hour epic.
* LauncherOfAThousandShips: Every character in fandom verse. Especially [[NoSenseOfPersonalSpace 5]]. And [[TheSmurfettePrinciple 7]]. But mostly [[HoYay 5.]]

* NarmCharm: The "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" sequence is really, really over the top. That doesn't stop the payoff from being [[spoiler:terrifying]].

* SlashFic: And God knows there's a lot of it for a movie about sackdolls ([[HoYay sort of]]). 5/9, [[MayDecemberRomance 5/2]], 5/6, [[OppositesAttract 6/8]], [[FoeYay 1/2]]...

* ViewerGenderConfusion: 3 and 4. Seriously. Try to figure out what gender they are without the WordOfGod, which says "[[ShrugOfGod open to interpretation]]".

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: A disturbing number of parents who brought small children along, despite the commercials clearly stating it was not a children's animated movie. Most were in tears by the middle of the film.
** And it's rated '''PG-13'''. Though, the movie's genre is labeled as Kids & Family. Kind of surprising, considering the fact that [[spoiler: a total of nine sentient beings (1, 2, 5, 6, 8, Mr. Fab, the Cat, the Winged, and the Seamstress) get brutally killed]] over the course of the movie.

* MemeticMolester: 2, for ''some'' reason...

* TheWoobie: At times, 5 could really use a hug.

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments: 7's failed BigDamnHeroes moment against the Winged Beast.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: 2 seems to be a living manifestation of this trope. And just try not to smile when [[spoiler: 1's soul silently thanks 9.]] Oh, hell, just the entire scene when [[spoiler:the fallen Stitchpunks' souls are freed.]]

* MemeticMolester: 2, for ''some'' reason...

* SoOkayItsAverage: The critical consensus is that it's high on imaginative splendor and short on narrative depth, making for a visually interesting but overall "meh" film. [[CriticalDissonance The fans, on the other hand...]]

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: This is the rare animated film that plays RealIsBrown completely straight, and is ''still'' incredibly gorgeous.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Practically forced in against its will: despite [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids numerous trailers explicitly stating]] that this was '''NOT''' a children's film, [[WhatAnIdiot plenty of parents brought small children to see it]] and were upset to discover that [[CaptainObvious the darkly-colored, PG-13 - rated post-apocalyptic sci-fi film was not, in fact, for kids]]. [[SarcasmMode Go figure]].

* FandomBerserkButton: If you value your life, don't call this a Tim Burton movie in front of the fans. Tim Burton was only a producer, the director is actually Shane Acker.

* CounterpartComparison: The Fabrication Machine/The B.R.A.I.N can be compared to [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]]. Firstly, its appearance to [=GLaDOS=] is uncanny; it first moves around by swiveling on a giant arm that is attached above and the glowing eye in a sphere is exactly like a more steampunk version of a [=GLaDOS=] personality core. Second, it 'attacks' with drones and machines, particularly gun-drones with machineguns, and finally it uses a deadly gas toxin (possibly a nerve gas) for an area of effect attack.

* CrossoverShip: As mentioned above, thanks to their [[CounterpartComparison many similarities]], there are a number of fans out there who ship the Fabrication Machine [[RoboShip with]] [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} GLaDOS]].

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Over the Rainbow]]", which the filmmakers admitted would be the song they'd want to survive the apocalypse.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: 7's failed BigDamnHeroes moment against the Winged Beast.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: 2 seems to be a living manifestation of this trope. And just try not to smile when [[spoiler: 1's soul silently thanks 9.]] Oh, hell, just the entire scene when [[spoiler:the fallen Stitchpunks' souls are freed.]]

Immediately followed by a CrowningMomentOfFunny when his crown falls off and reveals the silly little knot on his head, which both 9 and 1 laugh at.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: Music/CoheedAndCambria's "Welcome Home" is used in the trailer, and it is '''epic.''' The full song is just as epic as it seems in the trailer.
** The song at the beginning of the trailer, known as the Captain by Music/TheKnife, perfectly sets the desolate tone of the movie.
** The actual soundtrack is pretty good too, especially "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlkBD1CML3c The Seamstress]]" and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvLf64WPvLI end credits music]], which isn't on the soundtrack for some reason.
*** Deborah Lurie and Music/DannyElfman's score, with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWhC5rKaSnQ ''Release'']] as a standout.

* EvilIsCool: The Fabrication Machine. A brilliant, soulless machine working to destroy all life, unlike most rebellious robots, ''succeeded'' in exterminating humanity? Hell yes. Plus, it has [[MultiArmedAndDangerous a]] [[CyberCyclops magnificent]] [[RedEyesTakeWarning design]].

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: [[spoiler:5's ghost nodding to 9 after killing the Machine.]]

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: This is the rare animated film that plays RealIsBrown completely straight, and is ''still'' incredibly gorgeous.

* TearJerker: The whole movie. Especially [[spoiler:2's funeral]], what happens right before the end (sad) and the end (happy?).
** [[spoiler: 1's last words. He may have acted like a JerkAss for most of the history, but his declaration that "They left us nothing. ''Nothing''. Why do we have to right ''their'' wrongs?" really puts in scope that he's VERY bitter with being abandoned in a dead planet with machines hunting them down because of the Chancellor's greed. Try to imagine this: You're left with only a few others like yourself, after surviving a war caused by a single human's misdeeds, in a completely destroyed and dead planet with horrifying creatures that want to kill you for your souls, and you alone are left with the task of protecting them, while being the size of a toy. In a way, 1 is a ShellShockedVeteran who's been pushed way over the [[SlidingScaleOfIdealismVersusCynicism Cynical side of the scale]].]]
** The BittersweetEnding.

** The song at the beginning of the trailer, known as the Captain by the Knife, perfectly sets the desolate tone of the movie.

[[AC: The stage musical and its 2009 film adaptation]]

* AwardSnub: The studio tried to get a nomination for Creator/MarionCotillard but it didn't happen, despite most critics praising her as the best part of the film, and her intense performance of "Take It All" (which ''did'' get a nom).
* BestKnownForTheFanservice: Creator/PenelopeCruz in lingerie on a swing, Creator/KateHudson dancing in a {{Stripperiffic}} costume, Fergie pouring sand all over herself and Creator/MarionCoutillard stripping off intensely. Partially justified since the main character is a bit of a lech.
* EnsembleDarkhorse: Stephanie is one of the favourites in the movie adaptation. Her (movie only!) song "Cinema Italiano" is a huge EarWorm, and Creator/KateHudson received lots of praise for it. The other popular movie character is Saraghina, thanks to Fergie's impressive performance.
* FlatCharacter: Creator/RogerEbert criticised all the characters in the film for being this. "But that's what they are, stars, because the movie doesn't make them characters".
* JerkassWoobie: Guido may be an idiotic ManChild who can't keep it in his pants. But it's hard not to feel a little sorry for him as his entire life crashes around him.
* JustHereForGodzilla: Some agree that Creator/MarionCotillard is the best part of the film, citing that it's worth watching only for her powerful performance of "Take It All".
* OneSceneWonder: Fergie as Saraghina for the extremely memorable "Be Italian" sequence.
* SheReallyCanAct: A variation. Kate Hudson showed that she could really dance. Even the negative reviews expressed pleasant surprise.
* SoOkayItsAverage: General consensus is that the film is too clunky with its pacing but the performances salvage it somewhat.
* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Fans of the stage musical weren't happy about a lot of the original score being cut for the film adaptation.
* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: The film was considered by many to be a catastrophe, but Creator/DanielDayLewis delved into his character just as much as he has in any other character he's ever played. Many critics wondered if it would hurt his mostly unblemished career at all. He's seconded by Creator/MarionCotillard, who director Creator/RobMarshall viewed as the real star of the film. Her powerful, emotional performance of the MovieBonusSong "Take It All" nearly redeemed the film for some.
* ToughActToFollow: This was Rob Marshall's first musical following the hit that was ''{{Film/Chicago}}''. While the former got thirteen Oscar nominations and received raucous praise, ''Nine'' only got four nominations and mixed reviews.
