Absolutely brilliant. This "House Musical" fuses the talents of legendary manga artist Leiji Matsumoto with one of the most inovatitve groups in music, Daft Punk.
The animation is fantastic, pulsing with vivid colours and imagery. Matsumoto's [the mastermind behind "Battleship Yamato" and "Captain Harlock"] world truly comes alive in a way no other animated piece ever has. Daft Punk has alot to do with this. The movie is set to pace with the Punk's "Discovery" release.
The story is fairly straight forward, Evil record executive steals an alien rock quartet and repackages them for Earth to make loads of money. Insert a starship pilot [ad devoted fan] to rescue the group and you've got a basic anime plot!
While the plot really isnt THAT important, the music and animation more than make up for the movie [which has no dialog]. If you're into anime, manga or the Daft duo you'll enjoy this movie immensely.

The combination of Japanese anime and French House music seems like it should be a classic example of "chalk and cheese".
So what I love about this, is that despite all the trepidation I approached it with, this DVD delivered joy non-stop and left me recommending it to all my friends and vague acquaintances and random people at clubs.
I've been sold on the idea of the House Musical thanks to the highly entertaining music of Daft Punk as invisaged by the artistic genius of Leiji Matsumoto.
The film only has sparing sound effects, and to be honest I don't think these were really NEEDED. But the more important point is that they never detracted from the music.
The plot is easy to follow and somewhat surreal - an immortal record executive has been kidnapping musical geniuses from across the universe for centuries, and is trying to use the gold records they have collected to build some sort of device to enable his dreams of world domination.
So I imagine this is based on a true story.
