Daft Punk & Leiji Matsumoto's Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem

It just resembles any number of Saturday morning kids’ cartoons based on popular bands, familiar stuff like Josie and the Pussycats, or even the hated S Club movie Seeing Double. Couldn’t Daft Punk have thought of something more unusual than this?

Fine if you like the band - you'll be treated to some cartoons playing over the top of their Discovery album. For everyone else, just daft.

Effortlessly cool, this is not to be missed by either fans of Japanese animation or Daft Punk's techno beats.

This dialogue-free sci-fi fantasy adventure is a delight -- and I’ll admit the music is at least sometimes pretty great, too.

…sheer music industry indulgence, but commendably to the point at 70 minutes and offering a delicious retro accompaniment to the music of one of dance’s most perennially popular acts in Daft Punk...

A futurist Fantasia that incidentally beats the pants off of Disney's own Fantasia 2000.

To anyone who digs anime or Daft Punk's flavor of dance beat ... it could easily be a dazzling delight.

This is a film you go to for the pretty pictures, for the neon and the quirky shapes, for the mix of 80s retro style with the fashions of today.

Fun and funky, Interstella 5555 is a nostalgic novelty item which melts away quickly in the mind but proves so enjoyable to watch.

Just when it starts looking cheap and cheerful there's a whizzy sequence that takes our breath away.
