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

My Name Is Barbra is a 1965 black-and-white television special, the first for singer and actress Barbra Streisand. Broadcast in conjunction with the release of Streisand's studio album of the same name, the special aired April 28, 1965 on CBS. A critical success, the program earned Streisand a contract for four additional television specials. Columbia launched a major advertising campaign to promote the subsequent album My Name Is Barbra, Two... coinciding with the October rebroadcast of the TV special. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
