Film Description
The Meatrix is a humorous 4-minute Flash animation that spoofs The Matrix films and highlights the problems of factory farming. Instead of Keanu Reaves, The Meatrix stars a young pig, Leo, who lives on a pleasant family farm...or so he thinks. Leo is approached by a trenchcoat-clad cow, Moopheus, who shows him the ugly truth about agribusiness, complete with a send-up of the "stop-motion" camerawork immortalized by The Matrix. The mix of humor, pop culture references, and an important message clearly resonates with a wide swath of the Web-using public.
