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

«Бармалей» — советский рисованный мультфильм 1941 года по сказке Корнея Чуковского, который создали на студии «Союзмультфильм» режиссёры Леонид Амальрик и Владимир Полковников. Так как мультфильм снят теми же режиссёрами и использует тот же художественный стиль и дизайн «Айболита», что и «Лимпопо» снятый по сказке Корнея Чуковского), «Бармалея» можно считать его продолжением. Это частично прослеживается и в послевоенном мультфильме. И можно увидеть Айболита в мультфильме «Павлиний хвост». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
