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

Doraemon: Nobita and the Galaxy Super-Express (ドラえもん: のび太と銀河超特急(エクスプレス), Doraemon; Nobita to Ginga Ekusupuresu), also known as Doraemon and the Galaxy Express, is a 1996 Japanese animated science fiction neo-Western film and the 17th feature-length Doraemon film. It premiered in Japan on March 3, 1996, based on the 16th volume of the same name in the Doraemon Long Stories manga series. A homage to Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999, it was directed by Tsutomu Shibayama and was also partially based on the 1980 Doraemon manga chapter, "A Night on the Galactic Railway". This was notably the final Doraemon film completed and released during series creator Fujiko F. Fujio's life, as he died months after the release in September 1996 while illustrating the Doraemon's Long Stories manga for the next film, Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City.
