unlabelledView post →we’re watching THE ANIMATRIX, which I didn’t bother seeing for years because that sounds insufferable let’s face it but nah it’s a good anthology movie. I find one of its stories unforgivably offensive, a couple a drag, and most of them nifty stuff

unlabelledView post →#DendensGamingDen. No. 187. Enter the Matrix (Nintendo Gamecube, 2003) Personal status: Ranked at 173 in Top 400. Alongside The Animatrix, a companion piece to The Matrix Reloaded to fill in some of the gaps deliberately kept in the movie. A failed experiment to most, but the connection (1/20)
unlabelledView post →#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched 1. An animated childhood classic. 2. A meditative masterwork. 3. The best animated anthology film since The Animatrix. 4. A delightfully cheeky animated memoir about an old man and his dog.
unlabelledView post →I can specifically recall a time when I was at a friend's house and I asked if I could use the computer while everyone else was watching a movie, and I installed mIRC to go to some dumbass Chatroom Meeting. and this is the reason I still have never seen The Animatrix
unlabelledView post →Also do more animated expansions of live action movies. I loved The Animatrix and would love for more movie franchises to do something similar.

unlabelledView post →my semi-normie coworker has been doing Keanu Reeves related movie marathons recently and as part of that watched The Animatrix (can't recall if he's in that, but maybe she's just watching it bc she watched the other Matrices) & was like "that Second Renaissance feels like it's now!"
unlabelledView post →Post a movie from the year you turned 18 This ( and the Animatrix, which isn't a movie really??? ) aside, actually a dogshit year for movies, woof.
unlabelledView post →Understanding Jada Pinket Smith's entire presence in the second matrix movie requires not only Last Flight of the Osiris which before The Animatrix was only watchable before showings Dreamcatcher and the entirety of ENTER THE MATRIX for pc/xbox/ps2 and gamecube
unlabelledView post →Hella niche pick but... An anthology movie in the vein of Star Wars Visions or The Animatrix but for the sci-fi writer Cordwainer Smith and his "Rediscovery Of Man" short story compilation book. Each short with a different director and their own filmmaking style.

unlabelledView post →My film recommendation for today is The Animatrix — a visually stunning anthology of animated shorts set in the Matrix universe. Each segment explores different aspects of the Matrix’s backstory as well as side stories that expand upon the universe of the film series. #filmsky #moviesky

unlabelledView post →Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust Insanely beautiful movie, first one I've watched directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri outside of Program from The Animatrix and I was not disappointed. Up there with the 1985 film imo.
unlabelledView post →Bruh, The Animatrix was such a beautiful ass movie. The animation styles were so sharp and fluid- the whole experience was amazing to watch! That really scratched my Matrix hyperfixation, and I'm happy that I finally made time to watch The Animatrix! 👏

unlabelledView post →We aren't counting the Animatrix as a sequel, despite it being the 2nd best Matrix film. 🤔
unlabelledView post →Movie you’ve watched more than 6 times using gifs. HARD MODE: NO STAR WARS, STAR TREK OR LOTR (Does the Animatrix count as a movie?)
unlabelledView post →Watched Riddick: Dark Fury for the first time. 30 minute animated movie by the people who did The Animatrix or something I think. It was alright. I'm rewatching Chronicles now.
unlabelledView post →Just got back from watching the Free Your Mind show at @factory_international Aviva Studios in Manchester. As a lifelong The Matrix obsessive, I was so impressed at the attention to detail for the inclusion of The Animatrix and sequels content. #cyberpunk #scifi #thematrix #movies

unlabelledView post →Predator: Killer of Killers It's a really cool animated film for the Predator series structured as an anthology, akin to The Animatrix and Genndy's Clone Wars. I love the art and all the stories told with The Sword being my fav. I'm digging Dan Trachtenberg's direction even more!
unlabelledView post →And it was named after the movie The Animatrix! (It was not)

unlabelledView post →yesterday i taught people about a cup and today apparently i am teaching people that there is in fact a 4th matrix movie It's called Matrix Resurrections go check it out also watch the Animatrix if you missed that one too lol
unlabelledView post →Sometimes I’m reminded of how cool the Animatrix was and how much better it was than any movie following the first.
unlabelledView post →Best Short film goes to "World Record" from The Animatrix
unlabelledView post →Yea, the sequels are kind of different movies (the third in particular), but I don't think that's a bad thing. The first movie is very unique compared to other movies and even its sequels and I like that about it. I think all 3 of them have a lot of value and oh yeah, The Animatrix rules too tbh

unlabelledView post →"The uploader has not made this video available in your coutnry". That's two points for Pokémon, and zero points for The Animatrix. (just kidding, I actually really love this movie 💖)
unlabelledView post →Reminds me of an animated film called the AniMatrix where the foolish humans decided to completely block the sun worldwide so that the solar powered machines would lose their power source and we could win the war against the Machines. You know what they did? They found a new power source 😂
unlabelledView post →26) My first worldbuilding project was the Second Renaissance, which predated me hearing about the Animatrix short film by a few years. Originally it was a much more optimistic scenario about the establishment of a kind of human quasi-confederation, composed of multiple supranational blocs.
unlabelledView post →Somebody told me The Animatrix is really good actually but I'll never know because I flat out refuse to watch a movie called The Animatrix
unlabelledView post →1973 - Messiah of Evil 1983 - Variety 1993 - Addams Family Values 2003 - The Animatrix And throwing in Matango for a 1963 bonus because I can't stop gushing about that film.
unlabelledView post →well the Animatrix is a film, so jot that down. The Animatrix Enthusiast has logged on
unlabelledView post →Recommending a full year of animated movies, day 130. My 321st best animated film is The Animatrix. This anthology is linked to the Matrix series. The Watchowski sisters were early proponents of anime in the west, and they worked with some legends. Some of it is very dated, but highlights are...
unlabelledView post →I also saw The Matrix for the first time when I was about 16 and didn't understand this. I did the annoying nerd thing where I wanted to be smarter than the movie. It wasn't until I saw The Animatrix and then went back and rewatched The Matrix as an adult that I realized it was hype AF.

unlabelledView post →The first movie does, and the Animatrix, although a lot of the feeling is nostalgia. The sequels are more like "movies that I occasionally remember exist."
unlabelledView post →Why is the Animatrix never part of the Matrix movie collections? :(

unlabelledView post →idk how else to describe it but it all gives such a great animated film, high budget of the early 2000s, like something that would be in the Animatrix anthology peak art direction of just in 2 icon drawins aaa👌
unlabelledView post →I should watch the Wachowski sisters Speed Racer before a single Matrix movie. I should watch The Animatrix before a single Matrix movie.

unlabelledView post →Yeah holy shit the only anime of his I watched when I was a kid was Program from the Animatrix movie but Yoshiaki Kawajiri has SUCH an amazing style
unlabelledView post →I had no idea The War of the Rohirrim was a theatrical release. 1. I thought it was a new anime TV show spin-off, like, I dunno, The Animatrix, but of the Tolkeinverse 2. That’s it. I only just now realize it’s a movie, in theaters.
unlabelledView post →28 - "What's your favorite movie?" The Animatrix. Love the Matrix movies to death, but I especially love the Animatrix, since it's not just one storyline, it's a bunch of different perspectives in a wonderful, sprawling world.
unlabelledView post →This animation style became incredibly popular in Japan, in part because the nation wasn’t large enough to provide the studio space required to create live-action films. Popular anime films include My Neighbor Totoro, Pokemon: The First Movie, and The Animatrix.
unlabelledView post →To this day I still think about the fact that Codename: Kids Next Door has a whole episode that’s a homage to the Animatrix movie.
unlabelledView post →Super rad! The Animatrix is probably my favorite Matrix media outside of the first movie. I need to fix up my vhs player and then find a copy!
unlabelledView post →Without saying your age, what is your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old. Out of this list? Probably The Animatrix, for rewatchability. LOTR: Return of the King The Animatrix Big Fish Old Boy The Triplets of Bellville Lost in Translation Kill Bill Under the Tuscan Sun Elf
