My absolute favorite Animatrix short.
A young girl called Yuki, living in a quiet, sunny corner of an unnamed Japanese city, can't find her cat and wanders through the alleyways where she encounters a group of boys. They take her to 'the haunted house' a bizarre place where objects float, the rules of physics seem to be broken, and where timelines apparently overlap.
Yuki and the kids don't realize that it's merely the Matrix breaking down in that particular city block. They have a wonderful defying gravity and investigating the mystery before the Agents show up and reconfigure the block back to 'normal'.
The animation is gorgeous, with bright, warm colors and a peaceful, ethereal score by Chris Neilman (which was left off the score CD, for some reason). There's also something hauntingly familiar about it. Could the Matrix be real?
