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

Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! (Japanese: デジモンアドベンチャー ぼくらのウォーゲーム!, Hepburn: Dejimon Adobenchā Bokura no Wō Gēmu!), also known as Digimon Adventure: Children's War Game!, is a 2000 Japanese anime short film directed by Mamoru Hosoda and produced by Toei Animation. A part of the Digimon media franchise, Our War Game is a sequel to the 1999–2000 anime television series Digimon Adventure and is the second Digimon film overall. The film premiered in Japan on March 4, 2000 as part of the Toei Anime Fair (being screened alongside One Piece: The Movie); in North America, portions of Our War Game were included in the 2000 film Digimon: The Movie. Hosoda has cited Our War Game! as a major influence on his 2009 film Summer Wars, with critics noting numerous similarities between the films. The events of the film take place after Digimon Adventure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
