Phase One: Celebrity Take Down

Having already left a mark on the worlds of music and new media, Gorillaz take their wacky antics to the DVD format with Phase One: Celebrity Take Down. The animated pop-punk quartet of Noodle, Russel, Murdoc, and 2-D pop off the screen in this virtual tour of Kong Studios—the band's digital home base.

Entering each of the bandmates' rooms, viewers gain access to storyboards and animatics for their videos, as well as the videos themselves, and 5 Gorilla Bites—animated shorts featuring the group. Gorillaz creators Damon Albarn and Jaime Hewlett turn up in "Charts of Darkness," a tongue-in-cheek documentary that examines the creation and evolution of the band. Humorous and quirky throughout, the fittingly madcapped Phase One, which also features an enhanced CD, is primed for hardcore fans.—RH
