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
The Wizard of Oz is a 1950 half-hour television adaptation with puppets of L. Frank Baum's famous 1900 children's fantasy novel, directed by Burr Tillstrom, best known for creating the TV show Kukla, Fran and Ollie. It was telecast live on May 22, 1950, by NBC. A print of the show is preserved in 16 mm. It is not to be confused with the 1939 full-length classic MGM film starring Judy Garland, which was first telecast by CBS in 1956.
