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
A Boy and His Dog is a 1946 American Technicolor short drama film directed by LeRoy Prinz. It won an Oscar at the 19th Academy Awards in 1947 for Best Short Subject (Two-Reel). Short-story author Samuel A. Derieux, who died twenty-four years earlier in 1922, received story credit for the short film, suggesting to some the expectation that he wrote a work with the title "A Boy and His Dog". However, a plot summary for the short film, attributed to David Glagovsky, closely parallels Derieux's short story "The Trial in Tom Belcher's Store", suggesting the film-makers drew on the published (and once celebrated) story, but gave the short film a title Derieux need not ever have considered. It is entirely unrelated to Harlan Ellison's 1969 novella cycle as well as its 1975 film adaptation of the same name. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
