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

Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe! (映画! たまごっち うちゅーいちハッピーな物語!?, Ēga! Tamagotchi Uchū Ichi Happy na Monogatari!?; lit. "Film! Tamagotchi: Happiest Story in the Universe!") is a 2008 Japanese animated film produced by OLM's Team Kamei division, based on the Tamagotchi digital pet franchise jointly created by Bandai and WiZ. It is directed by Jōji Shimura and written by Aya Matsui, released into Japanese theaters on December 20, 2008, and on DVD on June 26, 2009. The film is the second Tamagotchi feature film produced and the follow-up to Tamagotchi: The Movie. It is also a prequel to the 2009 Anime sequel of the same name. An English dub of the film existed in the Philippines, although it was rather rare. The film was also rare in other countries. Madman Entertainment, who provided an English dub of Tamagotchi: The Movie, intended to dub this film in English as well, but the dub was cancelled for unknown reasons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
