animatrix: beyond

one of the longest and most unusual film in the series, it clocks in at 13 minutes (most of them are right around the 9 minute mark). it follows a young woman who is looking for her cat. she comes across some kids who are playing in a 'haunted' house. there are many strange things going on there, gravity doesnt quite work right, the walls and hallways sometimes become pixelated, an opened door leads to a room of huge nothingness. the kids love it and play around with it, throwing bottles at the ground watching them break and then reform, and levitating. the idea behind this 'haunted' area is that it is actually a problem in the programing of the matrix which causes agents to show up and replace the area with a parking lot. this idea plays a part later in the films when they make mention of different viruses that can show up.
