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
The Beatles go on a fantastical undersea adventure in a yellow submarine to save a musical land from the joyless Blue Meanies. Animated characters sing Beatles songs while traveling through creatively surreal and brightly colored landscapes.

What happens
Yellow Submarine is a 1968 animated musical film inspired by the music of the Beatles, directed by George Dunning with art direction by Heinz Edelmann. Initial press reports stated that the Beatles themselves would provide their own character voices. However, apart from composing and performing the songs, the real Beatles' only participation was in the closing scene of the film; the voices of their animated counterparts were provided by voice actors. The film received widespread acclaim from critics and audiences alike. Filmmaker and former Pixar and Disney chief creative officer John Lasseter has credited the film with generating wider interest in animation as a serious art form, as in the West it had been generally considered a children's medium at the time. Time commented that it delighted "adolescents and aesthetes alike". Half a century after its release, it is still regarded as a landmark of animation and among the greatest animated films of all time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
