The Animatrix DVD release date is June '03--one month after Reloaded and five months before Revolution. what gives me hope with regard to the Matrix franchise (compared to the Lucas blasphemy that has been perversely foisted on Star War's fans of late) is the overwhelming focus the Wachowski brothers bring to the story. if they can honor the mythology of the Matrix with a story worthy of the thousands of FX in these films this saga will stay firmly ensconced in the pantheon of cinematic powers and will cast many of our dominate metaphors for years to come.
