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.
How it feels
A scientist drinks a potion and turns into a mischievous alter ego. This silent comedy short spoofs the classic Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story.

What happens
Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pryde (or Dr. Pyckle and Mr. Pride) is a 1925 American silent, black-and-white comedy horror film, directed by Scott Pembroke and Joe Rock (also the producer). The film itself is both a spoof of the previous Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde films (e.g. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1912) and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1920), both adaptations of the 1886 novella by Robert Louis Stevenson Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde). The film stars Stan Laurel as the title character. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
