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

Gutten som kappåt med trollet ("Pojken som åt i kapp med trollet") är en norsk animerad kortfilm från 1967 i regi av Ivo Caprino. Den handlar om en pojke som överlistar ett troll, och bygger på folksagan "Askepilten som åt i kapp med jätten" i Peter Christen Asbjørnsen och Jørgen Moes tappning. Det var den sista av Caprinos Asbjørnsen och Moe-filmatiseringar och hans näst sista film överhuvudtaget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
