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
A greedy businessman cuts down all the truffula trees to make products, ignoring the warnings of a small orange creature called the Lorax. The story is told through animated songs and shows the consequences of destroying nature for profit.
