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

是由宮崎吾朗與山下明彥共同執導，以日本主題樂園吉卜力公園為背景的短篇動畫。作品於2026年7月8日公開，並僅限於在吉卜力公園內播放。 一名入職吉卜力公園的新進員工，在維護園內設施時目睹到許多不可思議的現象。當他把這些狀況反應給他的前輩時，對方則不把這件事放在心上。 之後在一天夜晚裡，該名新進員工輪值大夜班在園內巡點。當他走到魔女之谷區域時，看到菊江出現在那裡，才知道對方原來是一名真正的魔女。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
