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 Treasure of Bird Island (Czech: Poklad ptačího ostrova) is a 1953 Czechoslovak animated film directed by Karel Zeman in his feature length debut. The film, based on a Persian fairy tale, was Zeman's first feature-length work. The soundtrack includes verses by František Hrubín, read by children, as well as an original film score by Zdeněk Liška. The film's style is an experiment in combining two- and three-dimensional animation, including hand-drawn backgrounds and figures animated in relief. The production design is based on the traditional manuscript-illustration style of Persian miniatures. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
