Which Animatrix short explains the war between humans and machines?

The Second Renaissance Part I and Part II cover the rise of the machines, the founding of 01, and the war that leads to the Matrix. Those two shorts are the most direct backstory for the world shown in the Wachowskis' films.

Which studios worked on The Animatrix?

The anthology includes work from major Japanese animation studios such as Madhouse, Studio 4°C, and Square's animation team. The mix of directors gives each of the nine shorts a distinct visual style.

Is The Animatrix one movie or a TV series?

It is an anthology feature made of nine animated short films. The full release is usually treated as a 2003 companion film to The Matrix rather than as an episodic TV season.
