"Beyond" is one of the weaker segments of the "Animatrix" in my opinions. Maybe this has to do with the fact that it was not written by the Wachowskis, but by Kôji Morimoto, who also directed it. I am not too familiar with any of the voice actors except Strong and Adlon, but there are quite a few of them. Of course there are as this is one of the longest episodes of the Animatrix. I just wish the story would be as good as this was long. Unfortunately, it was not. A girl's cat runs away and when she heads out to get her back the finds much more than just a lost kitten. One problem I had with this one here is that I did not like the way the girl was animated at all. The rest was okay in terms of looks, but the protagonist I wish they could have done better. The scene with the cat looking right at us before we see the mouse is a nice way from the director of playing with our brains. Not enough though to let me recommend it. One of the weaker Animatrix segments in my opinion.
