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

For Y'ur Height Only (also known as For Your Height Only) is a 1981 Philippine action comedy spy film starring Weng Weng. Its title is a play on words on For Your Eyes Only, the title of the James Bond film released that same year. A sequel was produced in 1982, titled The Impossible Kid. Weng Weng is known as the shortest man to ever be a lead in a feature film, standing at 83 cm (2 ft 9 in). In the film, a secret agent has to stop the world domination plans of a warlord.
