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

He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special is an American animated Christmas television special based on the animated series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and its spin-off She-Ra: Princess of Power, originally broadcast in syndication December 1985. It is part of the same continuity as both those shows, and was created by the same Filmation production team and cast. In the special, Orko accidentally travels to Earth at Christmas time, where he encounters two children and brings them back to Eternia. Although the 1985 airing was the special's only broadcast on television (save for some markets that aired it again for the next few years, and USA Network aired it a handful of times in the late 80s), it was later released on VHS and in 2005, DVD. Classic Media acquired the rights for the DVDs and re-released this special on October 12, 2010. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
