As some people know, I am a Daft Punk fan as well, and I loved this little film. I saw movie clips on Cartoon Network, and now I've finally got my hands on the DVD!!! Seeing where I left off of Cartoon Network--WOW!! I didn't expect for it to come out as good as it did, and I'm glad there was no talking (it reminded me of Disney's "Fantasia"). The story was fantastic, and of course the stellar music made the movie all the satisfying to watch (as well as sad). I hope that if Daft Punk does a project like this again, their best bet is to team up with Leiji Matsumoto! "Life - Changing" Words can not express the feelings I had after watching the movie - just as they were not needed to tell the story. Daft Punk is Thomas Bangalter and Guy Manuel de Homem Christo (both French) and the Discovery animation is done by animation legend Leiji Matsumoto. After first hearing those guys years ago on Toonami, I then spent forever scouring the boundless field of drivel that is the internet trying to find the videos. But as luck would have it, all I ever found were the first four. And I NEEDED TO KNOW what happened to the characters!!! I became ravenous - it took over my life!! I could think of nothing else! This movie will change your life. After watching it for the first time, I sat and stared at the screen for minutes on end. A single tear rolled down my cheek. I now have no regrets. Riveting, wonderful, catchy, upbeat, tragically sad, and so full of joy it makes you cry. Not enough good can be said about it. Buy it now! "AWSOME!" totaly worth buying. my sis bought during the summer of 04' when i saw the first three videos on cartoon network i was like damn! this is good! i am a daft punk fan. the videos were so detailed and amazing. good plot and very very good music. good for any daft punk and anime fan out there. this is a must buy for anime and music fans every were! "Great little movie!" Wow, I just bought this yesterday but it is quite good... I've loved the Discovery album for a while now, and have wanted to get this dvd but just haven't seen it in a store any where... But needless to say, it's a very good package of movie and music... the anime seems to fit the music perfectly, and the idea is quite amusing and clever, a record company exec kidnapping an alien band and using them to make a hit record on earth... hehe, quite good... but yeah, it's very enjoyable whether you're a big daft punk fan or not, and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys dance music, anime, or both... "Good buy for the die-hard daft fan" Interstella 5555 is a fantastic tale of a musical group from another planet who get kidnapped by an evil human manager, blah blah blah world domination, blah blah blah. The point is, this is a DVD that contains videos for ALL of the songs from Daft Punk's Discovery album. If you like Discovery, I recommend Interstella 5555. With the trippy lights and musically-charged emotions, this is a DVD worth multiple viewings. Check it out.
