[edit] Language

Isn't the Animatrix in languages other than Japanese? Should the other languages be added to the infobox?

[edit] Anime?

Is the Animatrix an anime? According to the Anime News Network encyclopedia, it is listed as an OAV. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1710 KyuuA4 10:20, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category: Studio 4°C

There is nothing in the body of the article to explain its inclusion in the category of Studio 4°C.

From IMDb: Studio 4°C (segments "Second Renaissance Part 1, The" "Second Renaissance Part 2, The", "Kid's Story", "Beyond" and "Detective Story") -Robixsmash (talk) 06:36, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Text Criticism

The present version states that "The Animatrix is a collection of nine CG and anime shorts ...". Following the 'CG' link one learns that CG " ... was a French automobile maker"! So, what does 'CG' mean in the Animatrix context?

CG -> computer animation, problem solved, Fantasy ;-)

Actually cg=Computer graphics, with cgi special effects being Computer-generated imagery. Seeing as how the origional wording was "CG", I've changed the link to computer graphs. However, if you think computer animation works better, I have no objections to changing it back. All three articles appear to accredit themselves with their use in films and tv shows.

Some of these were on tv as well before Reloaded came out. I think it might have been MTV, I forget. Also, the 4 films that were "originally released on the series' official website" are still available ; I'm making a small note of it. --ScarletSpiderDave 07:14, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Free downloads

The website won't allow me to download the four free preview videos of the animatrix from the website. The download and view options are there, but the download links just bring up the warner brothers website. Should that little note be removed? --Duckfootx 03:39, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
