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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A magical monkey travels from China to India with a team of protectors. They face monsters and trials along the way to bring sacred scriptures back home.

What happens

Filmed in Northwest China and Inner Mongolia, the show was produced by Nippon Television and International Television Films and was broadcast from 1978 to 1980 on NTV and its affiliates.
