Amazing way to both entertain yourself and get in to the lore of the matrix.
A great supplement to the world of the Matrix. Emotional, well animated, and seriously fleshes out the lore of the Matrix
Sheds new light on an already amazing universe.
I loved The Matrix, and I think The Second Renaissance by itself it’s a better story, worth telling and worth warching.
Interesting and full of info, but moves quickly.
Cool animation, as with the rest of Animatrix. Gives the background on the universe.
Adds lots of interesting lore to the Matrix universe, detailed animation really sells the story too
A really solid origin story for the Matrix and an excellent addition to this world’s lore - especially compared to other Matrix entries…
Decent action animated, worth seeing and sci-fi
I wish everyone watched this after watching the original trilogy. Beautiful work

A high school student is haunted by thoughts of "The Matrix" and a person named "Neo".

A little hedgehog, on the way to visit his friend the bear, gets lost in thick fog, where horses, dogs and even falling leaves take on a terrifying new aspect...
In an epic tale of theater, gender, love and class, two Beijing opera actors navigate political turmoil as their friendship evolves over decades.
In a chaotic 19th-century Paris teeming with aristocrats, thieves, psychics, and courtesans, theater mime Baptiste is in love with the mysterious actress Garance. But Garance, in turn, is loved by three other men: pretentious actor Frederick, conniving thief Lacenaire, and Count Edouard of Montray.
It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.
