Very similar to "Heavy Metal" in that it was a compilation of shorts. 9 shorts. One of them was shown as a trailer w/ "Dreamcatcher" if you saw it at the theatre. Two of the shorts deal w/ the rise of the machines and the wars - those were very cool. I purchased the $3.99 PPV and recorded it to VHS hifi as opposed to $15.00 - $20.00 for the DVD. If you are into the Matrix, I suggest it. If you are into modern animation (anime, Spawn, Final Fantasy) I suggest it. If you are into both, you'll love it.
