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 Legend of the Sun King (ドラえもん のび太の太陽王伝説, Doraemon Nobita no Taiyōō Densetsu), also known as Doraemon and the Empire of the Sun, is a 2000 Japanese animated science fantasy adventure film, which premiered on March 7, 2000, in Japan, based on the 20th volume of the same name of the Doraemon's Long Tales series. The film presents a plot similar to the story The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain, where Nobita and a prince identical to him switch places. It premiered on a triple billing with the short films Doki Doki Wildcat Engine and Doraemon: A Grandmother's Recollections. It was a successful film at the box office, grossing around ¥3.42 billion ($32 million), becoming the highest grossing Doraemon film of the original series. It's the 21st Doraemon film. The film celebrates 30 years of the Doraemon franchise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
