The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels

What happens
『ひばり捕物帖 かんざし小判』（ひばりとりものちょう かんざしこばん）は1958年公開の日本映画。沢島忠の監督3作品めにして、主演となる美空ひばりとの最初の作品である。『ひばり捕物帖』シリーズは美空ひばりを主人公としたいわゆる「ひばり映画」の代表シリーズの1つとなった。 美空が歌って踊って小気味よく動き回る本作は美空ひばりというキャラクターの魅力を十全に発揮したものとして、本作をベストワンに挙げる評論家も多い。 本作は「ミュージカル喜劇調のチャンバラ」というスタイルが新しいと評価されるが、その一方で「内容的にはあまり新しいものではない」という批判もある。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
