The Animatrix: Second Rennaisance Part 1

[OB1]

The first part of the first animated Matrix anime can be found here.

The first of several animated Matrix shorts is called "The Second Rennaisance" and is directed by Mahiro Maeda of Blue Subarine No. 6 fame. It's a prequel to the movies and tells the story of how the machines took over mankind. Part of the story was done in the first wave of the Matrix online comics at the official site. So go check out the movie! It's very cool.
