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
A Dog of Flanders is a 1960 American drama film directed by James B. Clark, with stars David Ladd, Donald Crisp and Theodore Bikel. It is based on the 1872 novel of the same name by Ouida. It was released on March 17, 1960, by 20th Century Fox in CinemaScope and Color by De Luxe. Unlike the novel, which has a tragic end; also like the 1935 different RKO film as well as the 1999 Warner Bros./Woodbridge film, the film has a happy ending for the boy and his dog. "Patrasche" is played by Spike the Mastador, best known for playing the title character in the 1957 Disney film Old Yeller. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
