The Matrix Resurrections will be in theaters/HBO Max on December 22nd. If you’re planning a Matrix trilogy rewatch—I know we are—then be sure to include The Animatrix.
The Animatrix is a collection of nine short animations that tell stories about The Matrix universe. Principally among the animations are The Second Renaissance Part I & II that tell the backstory of what caused the Machine War in the first place.

Each animation is animated in a different style, from CGI-like to black-and-white film noir.
When to watch
Ideally, you should watch The Animatrix between The Matrix and The Matrix: Reloaded. The animation titled Kid’s Story takes place during the time interval between those two movies and explains one of the new characters—the kid—who shows up in Reloaded with an unknown backstory. His Animatrix story fills in the gaps.
The Final Flight of the Osiris is another episode in The Animatrix that ties into Reloaded.
My Favorite
It’s hard to choose which is my overall favorite episode in The Animatrix, but if pressed I’d say Matriculated. It tells the story of humans trying to capture machines and put them into their own matrix where they can try to convince the machine that they should fight with, not against, humans.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.

Love love love this app. And, after receiving an email from Dan (the creator) that read as though it was a one-on-one communication sent only to me, I felt compelled to leave a long-overdue review. My son and I are absolutely addicted to this app…especially since I discovered it at the onset of the Marvel craze. Now we use it to confirm if there is a scene following the credits. Often times, we are the ONLY ones there watching the bonus scene…and it cracks us up. LOL! Thanks, RunPee!
