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

Doraemon: Nobita and the Spiral City (ドラえもん のび太のねじ巻き都市(シティー)冒険記, Doraemon Nobita no Nejimaki Shitī Bōkenki), also known as Doraemon and the Spiral City, is the 18th animated feature-length Doraemon film. It premiered in Japan on March 8th, 1997, and was based on the 17th volume of the same name in the Doraemon Long Stories manga series. The film's release commemorated the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Corocoro Comic magazine. It was the last Doraemon film written and supervised by series creator Fujiko F. Fujio before he died in September 1996, the remainder of the manga being completed and released in serialization after he died by apprentices (he died while inking and illustrating the manga) with the movie releasing months after his death.
