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

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island (Japanese: ONE PIECE THE MOVIE オマツリ男爵と秘密の島, Hepburn: Wan Pīsu za Mūbī Omatsuri Danshaku to Himitsu no Shima) is a 2005 anime film directed by Mamoru Hosoda and produced by Toei Animation. It is the sixth animated feature film in the film series of the One Piece anime, based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It premiered in Japan on March 5, 2005, and was released to DVD on July 21, 2005. One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island is considered one of the darkest of the One Piece films, due to its more serious tone and disturbing subject matter. Director Mamoru Hosoda would later found Studio Chizu and produce acclaimed films of this style. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
