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 caliph is turned into a stork by a magic spell. He must find a way to break the enchantment and return to human form.

What happens
«Халиф-аист» — советский рисованный мультфильм, снятый по одноимённой сказке (1825) Вильгельма Гауфа. В 1981 году Валерий Угаров экранизировал таинственную сказку Вильгельма Гауфа «Халиф-аист», где заглавную роль озвучил Иннокентий Смоктуновский. Здесь режиссёр увлёкся изобразительной стороной (художники Владимир и Галина Зуйковы), направив накал страстей в более серьёзное русло. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
