The Animatrix
“Free your mind.”
Director
Yoshiaki Kawajiri
Screenplay
Shinichiro Watanabe, Koji Morimoto
'The Animatrix' is an anthology of nine animated shorts set in the world of 'The Matrix', produced under the Wachowskis and crafted by leading anime and animation studios. Ranging from the origin story of the machine war to standalone tales of hackers and rogue programs, it deepens the trilogy's mythology through wildly varied visual styles. Directors including Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoshiaki Kawajiri contribute standout entries. A love letter to Japanese animation, it remains one of the more inventive examples of expanding a franchise across media.
