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
This 1986 Australian animated film adapts the classic Alexandre Dumas novel about a young man who joins three royal musketeers in France. The characters sometimes break the fourth wall and talk directly to the audience.

What happens
The Three Musketeers is a 1986 Australian made-for-television animated adventure film from Burbank Films Australia. It is based on Alexandre Dumas's classic 1844 French novel, The Three Musketeers, and was adapted by Keith Dewhurst. It was produced by Tim Brooke-Hunt and featured original music by Sharon Calcraft. Although chronologically the story is followed in Burbank's The Man in the Iron Mask, the latter film was released a year before The Three Musketeers. The copyright for the film is now owned by Pulse Distribution and Entertainment and administered by digital rights management firm NuTech Digital. This is the only time in any Burbank production that the characters break the fourth wall. Now and then, the characters suddenly address the audience as if they were in the scene with them. In 1999, the film was re-released on DVD by Digital Versatile Disc Ltd. Company, with a 5.1 soundtrack and interactive trivia game. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
