That's Gondry at his most Gondryesque. There are connected themes in some of his other music videos: The Chemical Brothers - Star Guitar ▶ this video The Chemical Brothers - Let Forever Be link Daft Punk - Around The World link The White Stripes - The Hardest Button To Button - link

Reminds me of the music video for Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers: ▶ this video The game looks really beautiful and I would not have guessed it’s running on Pico-8. Wonderful!

Neat. Reminds me of Star Guitar's music video, which I assume was just done by hand in After Effects or something. ▶ this video
