The trailer was released back in late April, but now the full film is available; the plush character that stars in the new film is currently in Louis Vuitton stores as part of Murakami's interior makeover.

There's so much from the art world that's infiltrated into things, people have no idea . . . you turn on a Motorola phone, and the graphics are inspired by Takashi [Murakami]'s work, clearly. I don't think anybody who turns on the phone realizes that, but I think now, more than ever, visual art is really, really changing everything. And fashion is too, I mean, fashion is as popular as football . . . if not more popular.
