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
Master thief Lupin III and his crew compete with gangsters and a rival to find a legendary golden treasure. They chase leads across New York and Babylon dealing with slapstick chases and double-crosses.

What happens
Lupin III: The Legend of the Gold of Babylon (Japanese: ルパン三世 バビロンの黄金伝説, Hepburn: Rupan Sansei Babiron no Ōgon Densetsu) is a 1985 Japanese animated heist comedy film directed by Seijun Suzuki and Shigetsugu Yoshida from a screenplay by Yoshio Urasawa and Atsushi Yamatoya. It is the third animated feature film based on the 1967–69 manga series Lupin III by Monkey Punch. It was released on subtitled VHS and LaserDisc in North America by AnimEigo in 1994 under the "Rupan III" name, due to copyright concerns with Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin. In 2018, Discotek Media released it on DVD and Blu-ray under its original name with an English dub. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
