Phase One: Celebrity Takedown is a compilation DVD by Gorillaz, released in November 2002. The DVD compiles the videos and animatics related to the release of the band's first album, Gorillaz, G-Sides, and Laika Come Home, as well as the related singles. The DVD came with an extra CD-ROM containing desktop wallpapers, screensavers and other such special features. Limited edition copies came packaged in a hard box with a map of Kong Studios, exclusive sticker sheet and a 52-page reprint of the original promotional booklet released in limited quantities three years prior.

Overview

The DVD itself follows a small storyline, with the player being a police investigator sent to examine Kong Studios due to strange goings on. The studios look in a reasonably good state, which would change dramatically for Phase Two. Starting at the lobby, the player can turn on the jukebox and watch all four music videos, or explore the building using the icons at the bottom of the screen. If the player waits in a room for too long, they will get attacked and die, but resurrect back in the lobby. This DVD is mostly traditionally animated, while also maintaining some elements of three-dimensional animation as well.
