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.

What happens

Mazinga contro Goldrake è un film del 1979 prodotto da Sergio Bergonzelli con la sua Cinestampa Internazionale tramite il montaggio di scene tratte dai sei cortometraggi e mediometraggi anime con protagonisti i mecha creati da Gō Nagai, ridoppiate in modo da creare una nuova trama (scritta da Enrico Bomba). A partire dalla sua distribuzione in home video (avvenuta anche col titolo Mazinga vs Goldrake) il film è stato a sua volta rimontato in vari modi cambiandone la trama e ottenendo diverse durate.
