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

『ピカチュウたんけんたい』は、1999年7月17日に『劇場版ポケットモンスター 幻のポケモン ルギア爆誕』と共に上映された『ポケットモンスター』の短編映画である。両作品ともテレビ東京開局35周年記念作品。 ある日、一休みして昼寝をしていたサトシとピカチュウ一行。しかし、昼寝から目覚めたトゲピーが坂から転がっていってしまう。それに気づいたピカチュウ達はあわてて追いかけるもトゲピーはニャースと共に穴の中に落ちていってしまう。心配しているところにコダックの押し出しによってピカチュウ達も穴の中に落ちてしまい、出た先はポケモン達だけが暮らすポケモン谷だった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
