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
This Swedish TV film mixes live actors with hand drawn backgrounds. It reimagines the story from the Lord of the Rings novel through the lens of a music album inspired by it.

What happens
Sagan om ringen is a 1971 Swedish live action television film in two episodes. The film was inspired by the music album Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings by Bo Hansson, which in turn was inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien's 1954 novel The Lord of the Rings. Live actors were filmed and inserted into hand drawn backgrounds. Drawings were made by Peter Lindblom. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
