The Animatrix (2003, Movie)

The brothers W (both Warner and Wachowski) have given fans like us a rare treat: “The Animatrix.”

“The Animatrix” is a series of short films, under ten minutes each, set in the universe of The Matrix. Some of these films are presented as background to the features. Others are obvious devices to plant plot points for the upcoming release of “The Matrix Reloaded.” Still others are stand-alone stories simply set in the world of this future history.

The shorts include Final Flight of the Osiris, The Second Renaissance, Kid's Story, Program, World Record, Beyond, A Detective Story and Matriculated. The only story that really supplemented the core storyline of The Matrix is the first (The Final Flight of The Osiris). Each has its own voice and vision, playing in and around the familiar Matrix universe.
