The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Dr. Slump e Arale - The Movie - Il segreto di Nanaba (Dr.スランプ アラレちゃん ほよよ!ナナバ城の秘宝?, Dr. Suranpu Arare-chan: Ho yo yo! Nanaba-jō no hihō) è un film del 1984 diretto da Hiroki Shibata. È il quarto film anime tratto dal manga Dr. Slump di Akira Toriyama, e presenta una trama originale che non fa parte della continuity della serie, raffigurando versioni alternative dei personaggi in una diversa ambientazione. Il mediometraggio fu distribuito in Giappone il 22 dicembre 1984 come parte del festival Tōei Manga Matsuri insieme a Uchū keiji Shaidā: Tsuiseki! Shi gishi gi yūkai-dan e Kinnikuman: Ō abare! Seigi choujin. È l'ultimo lavoro dell'attore e doppiatore Asao Koike, deceduto l'anno seguente. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
