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 Singing Ringing Tree (German: Das singende, klingende Bäumchen) is a 1957 children's fantasy film from East German studio DEFA. The film is directed by Francesco Stefani, with the screenplay by Anne Geelhaar. The film's plot is based on a variation of the fairy tale "The Singing, Ringing Tree, or the Punished Presumption" (Das singende klingende Bäumchen, oder der bestrafte Uebermuth) from the 1801 fairy tale collection "Fairy Tales", which bears similarities to the fairy tale "The Dwarf, the Fox and the Princess" (Hurleburlebutz) in the Brothers Grimms' Children's and Household Tales (Grimms' Fairy Tales) published in 1812. The film is considered one of the best fairy tale productions in DEFA film history. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
