Four talented alien musicians are kidnapped by a record producer who disguises them as humans. Shep, a space pilot in love with bass player Stella, follows them to Earth. Reprogrammed to forget their real identities and renamed The Crescendolls, the group quickly becomes a huge success playing soulless corporate pop. At a concert, Shep manages to free all the musicians except Stella, and the band sets out to rediscover who they really are — and to rescue Stella.

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Goregazer I have been a fan of Discovery and Daft Punk for years now. I finally took the time to take a look at this awesome little piece of animation and was extremely pleased with it.The animation is great and you can still make out each character's personality even without dialogue. Speaking of which, I'd like to address the folks that say that the plot and story are paper thin. It's not Why? Simply because this is an hour long movie with no dialogue and a lot happens in this hour...a lot. In a hour you see the world that they come from, the capture, the hero chasing them, the transformation, the new life as brainwashed musicians, the rescue partially foiled by the bad guy, the bad guy showing off the women and winning the award, the 2nd rescues, the chase, the love scene,the road trip, the burial, the discovery of the mansion,the back story of the bad guy and his ultimate goal, his final solution in progress, the foiling of his plans, the infiltration to get the data back, the realization of what the band really is,the world becoming aware of the bad guys plan, the help they get to get launched back into space, the final scare from the bad guy, the search for home, home finding them and finally..the conclusion.All of this, without dialogue within an hour. One could agree that they had to simplify at some points but i feel it's never rushed and everything is clear. many movie have less content and story even with dialogue and exposition This movie is pretty much a long music video so the music itself does a lot of "talking", setting the right mood in general. The colours, the characters; the story, the music and the fact that its set in a sci-fi world make this experience very rich and entertaining. I even admit to having teary eye at the "Something Between Us" part. When a picture can make me emote in such way, it did something (many things in fact) right. If your open enough and you let it, it has the potential to make you laugh and cry. Also, as many reviewers mentions on this site, the throw back to the 70's 80's, Captain Harlock style of esthetic is a great choice and fits well with Daft Punk's multi-generation sounds. Worth the watch, highly recommended for any fans of Daft Punk and Japanese-animation.
sandover Being a later bloomer to Daft Punk, I am quite glad I have bloomed -this anime is really animated - it is simple, it is brainstorming, it is fearless in shifting gears, being tongue-in-cheek, blatantly and deliciously critical of the pop industry, it is absurd if you are absurd, it is not sad, for the loss that is crucial although one could say schematic or unnecessary for our interstellar band to get saved is presented in an almost adult manner, it has a message, it is a romp - I think the delight of all people involved is palpable, one feels them giving full rein to fun and imagination pop art popping us at its best!one of a rare bunch of films, or experiences, that you are in for a new ride right after the previous one has barely ended.Stunning visuals, unapologetic when romantic, sometimes laced with delicious cheesiness, and seamlessly integrated music,thank you.
annuciics The IMDb feedback on this movie was exactly that i am thinking about it... when daft punk started showing off the TV i didn't like it...but time passing by i am beginning to just love it! As you said its just something so magical about their music and this video... and by putting them together... its even more magical and breath taking... its just keeps me wanting more...and the old fashioned animation sauce fits so right with music and cartoon... and another fact that movie is not completely without the original sound, but with effects like rain, thunder, explosions etc... gonna watch this one again today :) like aren't there gonna be another part of this??? Perfect! Lauris Latvia
solidgameboy12-1 This movie, which only runs an hour long, still feels like a movie to me. As an Anime with no dialogue and communicates by visual storytelling, it is seriously one movie that had me hooked. The songs are catchy and toe tapping, my ankle was actually sore from so much foot tapping from the addictive drum beats and technological hooks.There was one part where I felt the movie would have been a bore, without giving too much away, it happens right after the first song ends, where I would expect raucous noises during a moment where large audiences are seen, I'd be used to hearing screaming or sounds of panic, which did not happen, and for that, I felt slightly gypped, but for the most part, the songs and animation compliment each other, as the animation is beautiful (though it's hardly Hayao Miyazaki quality) while giving the aliens a human look, and the humans an alien quality.These anime characters look nothing like Powerpuff Girls with very large eyes as most anime television shows tend to do, but instead feel like real people at times.Also, as the ending plays out, I had to crack a big smile at its "Twist" of an ending. It was something I did not expect at all, since the story was especially intriguing. This is an anime movie I will indeed watch again.I only wished I could rate this movie in half stars too, because it's not a 8 or 10 to me, but a 9.5, which I feel gives the movie the appropriate credit it deserves.
