The Animatrix
The Animatrix, released in June 2003, is a series of 9 animated short films set in the world of The Matrix. Bringing together some of the most influential talent of the anime world, the creators of The Matrix Trilogy collaborated on each selection to varying degrees. Four of the stories were written by the Wachowski Brothers, with the other five written by the directors themselves.
Four of the films were released completely free-of-charge on the Internet in the months leading up to the release of The Matrix Reloaded. They remain freely available, and you can still download them. A fifth film (Final Flight of the Osiris, informally deemed 'The Matrix 1.5') was shown theatrically with Dreamcatcher to allow viewers to learn the setup for Reloaded before the release of that film.
All 9 animes are available on a single DVD or video, and each film adds depth to the Matrix Trilogy, from backstory on characters and events from the movies, to introducing new characters from the sequels. We strongly suggest you buy or rent the Animatrix before reading any further. Spoilers abound in the following sections.

Did You Know?
At the 'Door to the Source' briefing in 'Reloaded' The Keymaker tells the rebels that the amount of time that the One
has to open the door to the Source is 314 seconds. This is likely an allusion to PI, 3.14, which is a close approximation of the relation
of a circle's circumference to its diameter, yet contains an unending anomaly, much like the One is to the Matrix.
