The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Wie man einem Wal den Backenzahn zieht (Originaltitel: Jak vytrhnout velrybě stoličku) ist ein Kinderfilm aus der Tschechoslowakei. Er hatte am Heiligabend 1977 seine Premiere im tschechoslowakischen Fernsehen. Die deutsche Synchronisation für das Fernsehen der DDR erfolgte 1978 und wurde noch im gleichen Jahr am Heiligabend im DFF 1 gezeigt. Aufgrund des regen Zuspruches, den der Film fand, erfolgte bereits 1978 eine Fortsetzung dieses Films unter dem Titel Wie man den Vater in die Besserungsanstalt bekommt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
