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
«Али-Баба и сорок разбойников» — советский музыкальный спектакль по мотивам персидской сказки «Али-Баба и сорок разбойников» со стихами Вениамина Смехова на музыку Сергея Никитина и Виктора Берковского. Был записан в 1981 году и выпущен на двойной пластинке в серии «Сказка за сказкой» через год. Спустя два года был снят одноимённый музыкальный телефильм с почти тем же актёрским составом и той же аудиодорожкой. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
