Animatrix

The Wachowskis’ Matrix expanded into 9 anime shorts each diving deeper into parallel worlds. One glider crashes through a city skyline the others chase glitches in kid logic a detective chases a ghost a tunnel bends sideways. Directors push style to its limit a chase through inkblots a chase through loops a chase through a dollhouse.
