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

Biancaneve (in russo Сказка о мёртвой царевне и о семи богатырях?, Skazka o mortvoy tsarevne i o semi bogatyryakh) è un film d'animazione del 1951 diretto da Ivan Petrovič Ivanov-Vano e Aleksandra Snežko-Blockaja. Pellicola sovietica realizzata dallo studio Sojuzmul'tfil'm di Mosca. Malgrado il titolo italiano, la trama del film, come si può evincere dal titolo originale, è in realtà un adattamento del poema russo Storia della principessa morta e dei sette cavalieri, scritto da Aleksandr Sergeevič Puškin nel 1833 basandosi a sua volta proprio sulla fiaba di Biancaneve dei fratelli Grimm.
