9 is not a terribly good movie. The short film it's based on, however, is excellent.

The Last Unicorn is only under appreciated in that it is the best, and there exists someone somewhere who is unaware of the book and film.

Watch Watership Down, then Plague Dogs, then follow it up with Felidae. However, the books are much better than all three films.

WD misses large parts of the rabbit religion(?). PD is a bit bland compared to the book. Felidae is a great noir-esc story told by a cat.

Plague Dogs is about lab test dogs. Watership Down shows the life of wild rabbits and the trials they face. They're supposed to be grim.
