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
An orphan boy named Teng-Teng collects junk and shares what little he has with others. His kindness is rewarded with a magic barbell that turns him into Captain Barbell, a superhero who must fight a spider-like villain named Gagamba. Meanwhile, his love interest falls for his superhero identity, not knowing he is the one behind the mask.
