The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

《雕龙记》是一部中国上海美术电影制片厂制作的木偶动画,根据欧小枚整理的白族民间故事改编。该片获得了罗马尼亚第二届布加勒斯特国际木偶电影节银质奖。 黑龙潭里居住的一条母猪龙,常出没祸害百姓。一天,老木匠杨师傅带着儿子七斤经过黑龙潭,当七斤在龙潭取水时,母猪龙突然窜出来将他拖入潭中。杨师傅决定为民除害,他雕成一条木龙,投入潭内与母猪龙决斗,可是战不到几个回合,木龙便被母猪龙打败。在赵铁匠的帮助下,杨木匠又雕出一条木龙,并给木龙装上了铁鳞和铁爪,在第二次与母猪龙的交锋中战胜了母猪龙。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
