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
Escapade in Japan is a 1957 American family adventure film. It was directed by Arthur Lubin and starred Teresa Wright, Cameron Mitchell, Jon Provost and Roger Nakagawa. It also featured an early (and uncredited) appearance of Clint Eastwood as a pilot. Lubin said "I think that Escapade probably ranks in my own opinion as fine of a picture as The Phantom of the Opera" although it suffered at the box office because Universal refused to promote it.
