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
Mickey and his friends take a vacation to Hawaii. Each character runs into their own silly trouble, like Goofy fighting with playful waves while surfing or Donald having problems with his grass skirt.

What happens
Hawaiian Holiday is a 1937 American animated short film produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. The cartoon stars an ensemble cast of The Fabulous Five (Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto) while vacationing in Hawaii (at the time was an organized incorporated territory of the United States). The film was directed by Ben Sharpsteen, produced by John Sutherland and features the voices of Walt Disney as Mickey, Marcellite Garner as Minnie, Clarence Nash as Donald, and Pinto Colvig as Goofy and Pluto. It was Disney's first film to be released by RKO, ending a five-year distributing partnership with United Artists. Hawaiian Holiday was the 96th short in the Mickey Mouse film series to be released, and the seventh for the year. The cartoon features the music of "On the Beach at Waikiki", performed by Hawaiian musician Frank Ferera, and "Aloha ʻOe", written by Hawaii's former queen, Liliʻuokalani. The main premise is that the vacationers encounter separate problems. Goofy is practicing surfing, but he meets seemingly sentient waves who torment him. He suffers comical injuries, such as hitting his head on rocks. Donald's grass skirt catches fire, and he has to put the blaze out. Pluto is attacked first by a starfish and secondly by a crab. Goofy is eventually buried alive in a makeshift grave, causing his friends to laugh. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
