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

《人参果》，是中国上海美术电影制片厂于1981年出品的动画电影，根据《西游记》片段“偷吃人参果”改编，全长44分钟左右。片中画风及设定延续了《大闹天宫》的原始风格。《大闹天宫》以及该电影被收录于1994年海豚出版社出版的《孙悟空系列丛书》中，丛书其余的32篇作品也一样继承了这两部电影的画风。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
