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
Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd is a 1952 American comedy film directed by Charles Lamont and starring the comedy team of Abbott and Costello along with Charles Laughton, who reprised his role as the infamous pirate from the 1945 film Captain Kidd. It was the second film shot in SuperCinecolor, a three-color version of the two-color Cinecolor process that utilized an Eastmancolor negative, as Cinecolor did not offer three-color origination, only two-color origination via bipack.
