{{Nihongo|'''''Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem'''''|インターステラ5555|Intāsutera Fō Faibu|"Four Five"}} is a 2003 [[anime]] [[Musical film|musical]]<!-- Please do not change to “jukebox musical. For brevity, the songs and film were thought up at the same time. --> [[science fiction film]]. The film tells the story of the abduction and rescue of an extraterrestrial pop band and serves as a [[Visual album|visual companion]] to ''[[Discovery (Daft Punk album)|Discovery]]'', [[Daft Punk]]'s second studio album. The film was produced by [[Toei Animation]], directed by Kazuhisa Takenouchi and supervised by [[Leiji Matsumoto]].<ref name="5555LinerNotes" /> The film has no dialogue, but instead consists of the entirety of ''Discovery'' with minimal sound effects.<ref group="nb">Although no dialogue is featured in the film, some characters are depicted to be talking or singing. Some examples with main characters: Shep sings "Digital Love" and "Something About Us"; Octave sings "One More Time" and appears to convey information in "Short Circuit"; Darkwood talks to Stella during "Crescendolls" and in "Veridis Quo", he reads from the eponymous book as part of the ritual.</ref>

==Plot==
<!--Per WP:FILMPLOT, plot summaries for feature films should be set between 400 to 700 words. -->
The main points of the story coincide with the ''Discovery'' album. On an alien planet in a city populated by blue-skinned humanoids, keyboardist Octave, guitarist Arpegius, drummer Baryl, and bass guitarist Stella are playing to a packed audience in a stadium, broadcast around the whole planet.<ref group="nb">"[[One More Time (Daft Punk song)|One More Time]]"</ref> A military force from Earth invades the planet and kidnaps most of the band members. Although Arpegius escapes, he too, is captured when a trooper shoots him with a [[tranquilizer dart]].<ref group="nb">"[[Aerodynamic (instrumental)|Aerodynamic]]"</ref>

Shep, a space pilot, is seen daydreaming about Stella while working on his guitar-shaped ship. Interrupted by a distress call about the kidnapping, he pursues the culprits through a [[wormhole]] and crash lands on Earth.<ref group="nb">"[[Digital Love (Daft Punk song)|Digital Love]]"</ref>

Meanwhile, the band is taken to an underground facility where their memories are transferred into disks and replaced with fake memories, and their blue skin is changed to make them resemble humans. They are fitted with [[Brainwashing|mind-control]] devices hidden inside [[sunglasses]].<ref group="nb">"[[Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger]]"</ref> Their captor, Earl de Darkwood, poses as their [[band manager|manager]] and presents them as a new band, The Crescendolls, who quickly become very popular.<ref group="nb">"Crescendolls"</ref> The fame has its disadvantages as the exhausted members of the band are forced to sign large amounts of publicity material. Meanwhile, Shep finds his way to the city and discovers what has happened to the band.<ref group="nb">"Nightvision"</ref>

Shep flies into a Crescendolls stadium concert with a [[jet pack]] and fires a beam at each band member, freeing all of them from the mind control except Stella, who is blocked by Earl de Darkwood. During the escape, Shep is mortally wounded by Darkwood's robotic bodyguards.<ref group="nb">"Superheroes"</ref>

Still under Darkwood's control, Stella finds a card with the address of Darkwood's home, Darkwood Manor, which she hides in her dress. She is then taken to an [[awards ceremony]] where the Crescendolls win the Gold Record, a coveted music award. Baryl, concealed in the audience, frees Stella with the beam, and they escape with Octave's help.<ref group="nb">"High Life"</ref> The band returns to Shep, who reveals their true identities and his feelings for Stella before he dies.<ref group= "nb">"[[Something About Us (Daft Punk song)|Something About Us]]"</ref> They bury him, and his spirit rises into space. Driving away in a stolen van, they use the card Stella took earlier to travel to Darkwood Manor.<ref group="nb">"Voyager"</ref>

While exploring Darkwood Manor, the band discovers a secret room, where they find a journal revealing Darkwood's plans entitled ''Veridis Quo''. He has been kidnapping alien musicians from various worlds and passing them off as human musicians in order to acquire 5,555 Gold Records, with which he can rule the universe. While the band is reading the book, Darkwood appears with a group of cloaked devotees and captures them. He attempts to sacrifice Stella to complete the ritual required to unlock the Gold Records' power, but the band manages to defeat his robotic henchman. Arpegius throws the final Gold Record into a lava-filled chasm. Darkwood follows it into the abyss, apparently dying as a result. His followers accompany him, resulting in their deaths as well.<ref group="nb">"Veridis Quo"</ref> Following this, Darkwood Manor collapses in on itself. The band narrowly escapes and visits their record company's headquarters to retrieve their memory disks. Octave sneaks in to steal them, but he is [[taser|tased]] by a guard while escaping the building, and his skin reverts to its true natural blue color.<ref group="nb">"Short Circuit"</ref>

The authorities find Shep's ship along with ''Veridis Quo'' and mount an operation to restore the Crescendolls' true original memories and send them back to their home planet via the same wormhole that Shep used.<ref group="nb">"[[Face to Face (Daft Punk song)|Face to Face]]"</ref> As they enter the wormhole, the spirit of Darkwood appears and attacks their ship. Shep's spirit also appears and defeats Darkwood, freeing them. The band returns to their home planet to great acclaim, performing in the stadium which is broadcast around the universe, and a statue of Shep is erected in the city park.<ref group="nb">"Too Long"</ref>

At the film's end, it is implied that the whole story was the dream of a young boy who is a Daft Punk fan, inspired by the ''Discovery'' album and toys, including the Daft Punk merchandise in his room.

==Characters==
* Stella – The bassist of the Crescendolls and the only female member.

* Octave – The keyboardist and vocalist of the Crescendolls. Octave's singing voice is provided by Romanthony's performance of "One More Time" and "Too Long".

* Earl de Darkwood – The human captor of the Crescendolls and the main antagonist of the film.
* Record Co. Owner – The supposed owner of the record company. He is giddy and excited in most of his on-screen time.  
* Daft Punk – The masked musicians themselves make a cameo appearance in "High Life" and "Too Long".

==Production==
The idea of making a feature film to visualize ''[[Discovery (Daft Punk album)|Discovery]]'' came about during the album's early recording sessions. [[Daft Punk]]'s concept for the story involved the merging of science fiction with [[entertainment industry]] culture. The duo had initially conceived of a live-action film featuring themes of overcoming oppression and rebelling against the machinery of life.<ref name=Edwards>{{cite web |url=https://www.twitch.tv/videos/929658256 |title=Poolside Presents: Pacific Standard Time Episode 11: Todd Edwards |website=Twitch |date=2021-02-26 |access-date=2021-02-27 |archive-date=15 April 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230415113412/https://www.twitch.tv/videos/929658256 |url-status=live }}</ref> After the live-action approach was discarded, several styles of animation were considered before settling on that of Daft Punk's childhood hero, [[Leiji Matsumoto]].<ref name=Plus81>{{cite magazine|last=Shimizu|first=Tomoaki|title=Interview with Daft Trax|magazine=Plus81|date=September 2001}}</ref><ref name="5555LinerNotes">''Interstella 5555'' DVD insert, 2003.</ref>

The film concept was further developed with Daft Punk collaborator [[Cédric Hervet]], with Bangalter and Hervet writing the script. A team consisting of Daft Punk, Hervet, [[Pedro Winter]] and Gildas Loaec were introduced to [[Toei Animation]] through a connection at [[Toshiba EMI]]. The script was brought to Tokyo in July 2000 in the hope of collaborating with Matsumoto, who remarked that he in turn was inspired by French filmmakers.<ref name=Plus81 /> After Matsumoto joined the team as visual supervisor, Shinji Shimizu had been contacted to produce the animation and Kazuhisa Takenouchi to direct. With the translation coordination of Tamiyuki "Spike" Sugiyama, production began in October 2000 and ended in April 2003.<ref name="5555LinerNotes" /> Daft Punk commuted to Tokyo on a near-monthly basis as Toei produced the storyboards.<ref name=Plus81 /> The production cost was reportedly $4 million.<ref name="EricD">Eric Ducker, "The Creators" (2007).

Retrieved on April 25, 2009.</ref>

Many elements common to Matsumoto's stories, such as romanticism of noble sacrifice and remembrance of fallen friends, appear in ''Interstella 5555''. Daft Punk revealed in an interview that ''[[Captain Harlock (manga)|Captain Harlock]]'' was a great influence on them in their childhood. They also stated, "The music we have been making must have been influenced at some point by the shows we were watching when we were little kids."<ref>{{Cite web |title=Daft Punk Interview |url=http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/toonami/reactor/features/daftpunk.interview.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040627180234/http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/toonami/reactor/features/daftpunk.interview.html |archive-date=June 27, 2004 |access-date=June 7, 2008 |work=[[Cartoon Network]]}}</ref>

== Release ==
Four segments were released to serve as music videos for ''Discovery'''s singles, and were shown on [[Cartoon Network]] on 31 August 2001 during the "[[Toonami]] Midnight Run: Special Edition". Cartoon Network later hosted the episodes online as part of their short-lived Toonami Reactor project (later revived as [[Toonami Jetstream]]).<ref name="ToonamiDaft">[http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/download/toonami.php Toonami: Digital Arsenal] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160214162640/http://www.toonamiarsenal.com/download/toonami.php |date=February 14, 2016 }} toonamiarsenal.com Retrieved on April 14, 2007.</ref> The song "[[Something About Us (Daft Punk song)|Something About Us]]" was released on vinyl as the "Love Theme" and tie-in single for the film. In December 2003, ''Interstella 5555'' was released along with the album ''[[Daft Club]]'', which served to promote the film and provided previously unreleased remixes of tracks from the ''Discovery'' album.<ref name="5555Release">{{Discogs release|name=Interstella 5555|id=224402}}</ref> The film premiered at [[Cannes Film Festival]] in 2003, with a short theatrical run and home media release following its premiere.
