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
The Mystery of the Third Planet (Russian: Тайна третьей планеты, Tayna tretyey planety, also translated as The Secret of the Third Planet) is a 1981 Soviet traditionally animated feature film directed by Roman Kachanov and produced by the Soyuzmultfilm studio in Moscow. It is based on a 1964 novella Alisa's Travel by Kir Bulychev, part of the Alisa Seleznyova children's science fiction book series. The movie is considered a cult classic in Russia and was included in various lists of the best animated films and science fiction films. A shortened novelization of The Mystery of the Third Planet was written by Bulychev himself, with other adaptations including a diafilm and a number of video games. The 2009 feature film Alice's Birthday is considered a spiritual successor of the work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
