some of the animatrix fills in the gaps witch the films leave out (eg.kids story) but the rest... i can only say *CENSORED*? expesaly the bit were they try and change the macine to the humans side. i would like to know what the people whomade it were smoking becuse i want some
I watched the animatrix again and I have to say I felt like I was watching something like a dream and in others a nightmare.
But this is what I understand:
Final Flight of the Osiris - Precurser to the matrix reloaded and enter the matrix.
The Second Renaissance Parts 1 & 2 - History lesson, tells us who exactly started the war (In one hand im glad that they told that story, but on the other I wish they hadn't, gave a feeling of mystery)
Kids story- As you said, the backstory of The Kid and how he got out.
Program - I think that this was the idea of Zions answer to testing for Cypherites. She was put in a situation where someone she obvously was close to wanted to go back to the matrix and take her with him. (Something Cypher may have at one point been tempted to do with Trinity)
World Record- Showed that for all the machines mastery of programming code could still not take into account the humans mind/body ability to push itself to an almost limitless end, case in point he ran the 50 meter dash in something like 7 seconds.
Beyond - Basicly was a story of a bug in the system which allowed the "haunted" house to exsist and was eventually repaired.
A Detective Story - I suspect that this was to show that their were cases that even though a potential was on their way out of the system, the agents could still get them from time to time and keep them from leaving the matrix.
Matrixulated - all the times ive watched this one and I still cant figure it out. But my best guess is that its ment to show that the machines could choose another path if they wanted and actually start to love humanity (As evident in the end when the machine plugged the girl back into the construct).
