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

Snoopy Come Home is a 1972 American animated musical comedy-drama film directed by Bill Melendez and written by Charles M. Schulz, based on the Peanuts comic strip. Marking the on-screen debut of Woodstock, who had first appeared in the strip in 1967, the main plot was based on a storyline from August 1968 (which was the only Cinema Center Films production to feature the Peanuts character Woodstock). The only Peanuts film during composer Vince Guaraldi’s lifetime without a score composed by him, its music was composed by the Sherman Brothers, who composed the music for various Disney films like Mary Poppins (1964), The Jungle Book (1967), and Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). Snoopy Come Home was released on August 9, 1972, by National General Corporation, produced by Lee Mendelson Films, Bill Melendez Productions and Cinema Center Films (in the latter's final production). Despite only grossing less than a quarter of its $1 million production budget commercially, it received generally positive reviews from critics and fared much more successfully on home video.
