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

Ōtsuka Yasuo no ugokasu yorokobi (大塚康生の動かす喜び? lett. "La gioia di animare [far muovere] di Yasuo Ōtsuka"), conosciuto anche con il titolo internazionale Yasuo Otsuka's Joy of Animating, è un documentario del 2004, scritto e diretto da Toshiro Uratani. Il lungometraggio è la seconda esperienza dello Studio Ghibli rispetto al genere. La prima volta fu con il film di Isao Takahata Yanagawa horiwari monogatari, del 1987. In Italia il film, come il precedente Yanagawa horiwari monogatari, è stato presentato per la prima volta al Festival Internazionale del Film di Roma 2010, ma non ha ancora avuto una distribuzione ufficiale nelle sale cinematografiche.
