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

What happens
Digimon: The Movie is a 2000 anime science fiction action film produced by Saban Entertainment and distributed by 20th Century Fox as part of the Digimon franchise. The film utilized footage from the short films Digimon Adventure (1999), Digimon Adventure: Our War Game! (2000), and Digimon Adventure 02: Hurricane Touchdown!! (2000), while the film's events take place during Digimon Adventure (1999–2000) and Digimon Adventure 02 (2000–01). Production commenced in 2000 after Fox sought to bring a feature film to the Digimon franchise. Only three seasonal short films were produced for the series in Japan, which Fox was contractually obligated to produce as one cohesive film by Toei Animation. Due to the drastically different plots and budget restraints, more than 40 minutes of scenes from the individual shorts were cut to save time and introduced several changes in tone, dialogue, and plot. Owing to the number of changes made, it is considered an original work by the press. Digimon: The Movie was released in the United States on October 6, 2000, by 20th Century Fox and was a moderate box office success, grossing over $16 million worldwide (equivalent to over $29 million in 2022) against a production budget of $5 million. Despite negative critical reviews, the film had a more positive reception from both fans and audiences, and has since garnered a small cult following. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
