The Animatrix
From The Black Vault Encyclopedia Project
The Animatrix is a collection of nine animated short films set in the fictional universe of the Matrix series.
Production
Development of the Animatrix project began when the film series' writers and directors, the Wachowski brothers, were in Japan promoting the first Matrix film. While in the country, they visited some of the creators of the anime films that had been a strong influence on their work, and decided to collaborate with them.[1]
