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

Naruto the Movie: Ninja Clash in the Land of Snow (劇場版 NARUTO(ナルト) 大活劇! 雪姫忍法帖だってばよ!!, Gekijō-ban Naruto Daikatsugeki! Yukihime Ninpōchō Dattebayo!!; lit. "Theatrical Feature Naruto: Great Action Scene! Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts") is a 2004 anime martial arts fantasy adventure film based on Masashi Kishimoto's manga and anime Naruto. It was released in Japan on August 21, 2004. The film is set after the episode 101 of the Naruto anime series. In the United States, the film aired on Cartoon Network on September 8, 2007. The ending song Home Sweet Home is performed by Yuki Isoya. The English adaptation replaced the song with Jeremy Sweet's "Never Give Up", due to licensing restrictions. In the film, Naruto Uzumaki and his Team 7 work on a bodyguard mission to protect Princess Koyuki Kazahana, who is posing as a film actress. An original video animation, Konoha Annual Sports Festival (木ノ葉運動会 Konoha Undōkai), was included with the Japanese release of the film. The film grossed US$11.1 million in the box offices and received generally positive reviews from critics for its focus on its animation, voice acting, emotional depth and well-executed action sequences, however the character of Koyuki was met with a more divided response.
