The Kid

"The Kid." Shinichirô Watanabe, dir. Larry and Andy Wachowski, story. #4 in The Animatrix anthology.

True belief in Neo, Trinity, and a truer world yields "self-substantiation" to Michael Karl Popper (The Kid). Note that that is self-substantiation; Neo says that he didn't save The Kid. Significant for absences: no red pill, no machinery, no animation "SpFx"; the kid believes enough to die to the VR and awake to another life, in a more real reality. Cf. and contrast "World Record."
