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.
How it feels
An old cuckoo returns to a village to remind people to plant grain but finds they have already done so using new farming methods. With guidance from a scarecrow, the cuckoo learns to adapt and begins singing a new song about early planting.

What happens
《布谷鸟叫迟了》 是上海美术电影制片厂制作的一部水墨动画片，该片根据作家金近的同名童话作品改编而成，于1959年开始上映。 春天到来了，老布谷鸟带领着孩子像往年一样飞来小山村，“布谷”、“布谷”地叫起来，想提醒人们快快播种谷种。他的叫声引来很多小动物的，围观的小动物告诉布谷鸟，说今年它叫晚了，人们早把谷子播种到地里了，秧苗也已经长出来了。 布谷鸟听了难以置信，结果飞到农田一看，果然地理的秧苗已经长出来了。后再在它的老朋友稻草人的解释下，布谷鸟才明白，原来农民采取了新的科学种田方法，稻子可以早种早收。布谷鸟听了感到很沮丧，但在稻草人的建议下带着孩子们叫起“早种早收”来。不到几分钟的工夫，整个村子里的布谷鸟都学着老布谷鸟叫起来了。同时老布谷鸟感到由于人们采取了新的种植技术，自己不能再按以前的时间来山村了，明年一定要早些来叫“布谷！”...
