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
Innerspace, stylized as InnerSPACE, is a 1987 American science fiction comedy film directed by Joe Dante and produced by Michael Finnell, inspired by the 1966 film Fantastic Voyage. The film stars Dennis Quaid, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Robert Picardo, and Kevin McCarthy. The plot centers on adventurous test pilot Tuck Pendleton, who volunteers for a secret miniaturization experiment but is accidentally injected into the body of timid hypochondriac Jack Putter, forcing the duo to collaborate in helping Tuck escape and stop a criminal plot to steal the technology. Innerspace was released by Warner Bros. in the United States on July 1, 1987. The film received positive reviews from critics, grossed an estimated $95 million worldwide, and won an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, the only film directed by Dante to do so.
