THE ANIMATRIX fuses the creative vision of Larry and Andy Wachowski, writer-directors of THE MATRIX and its upcoming sequels, with the inspired artistry of some of the most revered and exciting talent of the anime world.

THE ANIMATRIX represents more than three years of collaboration between the Wachowski Brothers and animation artists at studios in Japan, Korea, and the U.S.

All of the directors and key players of THE ANIMATRIX have been hand picked by the Wachowski Brothers, and have worked closely with them from first concepts to post-production.

So, what is THE ANIMATRIX? It is a series of nine feature-film-quality short animated films, each between six and sixteen minutes long.

Four of the ANIMATRIX stories are penned by the Wachowski Brothers, with the remaining five written by the anime directors themselves.

All of THE ANIMATRIX is deeply rooted in the world of the MATRIX films. Viewers of THE ANIMATRIX will learn the origins of characters familiar from the MATRIX films, learn of the genesis of the Matrix itself, as well as meet new characters in original stories inter-woven with the fabric of THE MATRIX feature films.
