NTSC/Region 0. In the late 1990's Jamie Hewlett met Damon Albarn and the concept of Gorillaz was born soon after. At the birth of the project, film maker Ceri Levy set about to document this undertaking. The result is Bananaz, 91 minutes inside the remarkable real world of Gorillaz - the most successful cartoon band ever. Levy filmed alongside and behind the scenes from 2000 to 2006, from first drawings, animations, music and the musicians, through to the faces behind the voices of Murdoc, 2D, Noodle and Russel Hobbs. The result is an unsanitized, free-wheeling documentary film; an intimate, honest and often hilarious account of the working relationship between Albarn and Hewlett. With appearances by many of those who occasionally pass through this world: Dennis Hopper, De la Soul, Ibrahim Ferrer, Dangermouse, Dan the Automator, D12, Bootie Brown and Neneh Cherry. The DVD also features The Bananaz Home Movie Club, with up to an hour of outtakes from the film. EMI.

Censored?
Bananaz is a great insight into the creative process behind Gorillaz. There are plenty of scenes showing Damon Albarn collaborating with Jamie Hewlett, Dan "The Automator" Nakamura, Brian "Danger Mouse" Burton, Ibrahim Ferrer and a host of other musicians, rappers and even Dennis Hopper. Luckily it doesn't get too bogged down with detail.The only problem I have with the DVD is that the special features are censored. Any time Jamie Hewlett says a swear word (and he does a lot), annoying sound samples are inserted. Either leave the uncensored words there and give the disc an NC-17 rating or replace with a silence.[DW]

Inspiring, funny, interesting, & all around good fun
This documentary is amazing & hilarious. Their "play it by ear" work process is interesting to watch. FYI this DVD does work for American DVD players. I've been playing it off of my MacBook pro & I've had no issues whatsoever.

It's... "A gun to keep yourself AMONG*"
A classic and must have for GORILLAZ fans! This is a very funny and enjoyable film which takes you into the minds of creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. If the Gorillaz have made an impact in your life, musically and visually, like they have for me, then this needs to go into your cart immediately. The only thing I would've liked to see was more footage from the Demon Days era (it runs 1 hour: 'Self-titled/Celebrity Take Down' era; 30 mins: 'Demon Days'). Either way, do it to it.

A wonderful and inspirational look behind-the-scenes for major Gorillaz fans
Bought as a gift for my boyfriend, who is a really big fan of Gorillaz, Jamie Hewlett, and Damon Albarn.It's awesome to see the way Jamie and Damon work together and throw ideas around with their friends and collaborators-- such a colorful and lively bunch of creative folk! A wonderful and inspirational look behind-the-scenes for major Gorillaz fans, ESPECIALLY if you're interested in the visual arts/conceptualizing/cartooning/comics side of it.
