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 Last Unicorn is a 1982 animated fantasy film directed and produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, from a script by Peter S. Beagle adapted from his 1968 novel of the same title. The plot concerns a unicorn who, upon learning that she is the last of her species on Earth, goes on a quest to discover what has happened to others of her kind. It was produced by Rankin/Bass Productions for ITC Entertainment and animated by Topcraft. Voice performers include Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, and Christopher Lee. The soundtrack was composed and arranged by Jimmy Webb, and songs were performed by the group America and the London Symphony Orchestra, with additional vocals provided by Lucy Mitchell. Although critical reviews were generally positive, the film was a commercial failure, grossing $6.5 million in the United States. It has since maintained a cult following. In 2003, the Online Film Critics Society ranked the film as the 96th greatest animated film of all time. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
