'''''Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem''''' is an anime-style visualization of the [[Daft Punk]] album ''Discovery''. A group of [[Green-Skinned Space Babe|blue-skinned]] extraterrestrial musicians are kidnapped, [[Brainwashed]], and altered, [[Laser-Guided Amnesia|mind]] and body, to be identical to ordinary humans. Under the control of their abductors, they become rock stars on Earth, playing their music and skyrocketing to massive fame. Can an alien pilot rescue the band, return their memories and get them home? Or will they be forced to play their part in the scheme of the evil, greedy Earl de Darkwood?
This film features no dialogue, yet the animation is expertly synced with music, making for an easily followed yet captivating film.

Line 54:
* [[Disney Villain Death]]: See [[Load-Bearing Boss]] below.

Line 94:
* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Before the Crescendolls, Earl de Darkwood's previous victims were famous musicians who look an ''awful lot'' like [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]], [[Jimi Hendrix]], Ella Fitzgerald, [[Janis Joplin]] and Jimmy Page.
* [[No Name Given]]: We only know the band by their names as the Crescendolls. Their names are only momentarily given during [[Freeze-Frame Bonus|brief moments in the "Crescendolls" section.]]
* [[Non
* [[The Nudifier]]: The lasers cutting off the aliens' clothes during the processing.
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Baryl looks like a teenager or a little kid. He's actually 20.
Line 108:
* [[Shout-Out]]
** The guards at the record company watch a soccer game between France and Japan. This is a subtle nod to the cross-cultural cooperation that produced a Japanese anime set to the music of the French [[Daft Punk]]. (Note the score: 2-1 for the French -- the Daft Punk duo and the one [[Leiji Matsumoto]].)
** Several shout outs to Leiji Matsumoto's works:
*** The hand-on-heart salute of the alien is similar to the one in ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato]]''.
*** During the music award, Baryl's disguise includes [[Captain Harlock]]'s coat and hat.
