Animatrix and that whole 'Matrix' thing

I thought Animatrix was a mixed bag, my favorite being that bit where the kids were playing in that 'haunted house'--I liked that even better than I liked the two sequels (not that I liked the original Matrix all that much). Still, the most I'd prolly do is rent the Animatrix, maybe even just borrow it if it isn't too much trouble...

edit: it's on Cartoon Network, for free.
