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

Jungle Man-Eaters is a 1954 American adventure film directed by Lee Sholem starring Johnny Weissmuller, Karin Booth and Richard Stapley. It is the last official Jungle Jim movie after Screen Gems bought the rights to make a TV series based on the character, which also starred Weissmuller. With only three movies on his contract remaining, Weissmuller used them wisely by just playing himself, but the format stayed the same. Despite the title, there are no Jungle Man-Eaters shown in the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
