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
Peppermint Park is a direct-to-video children's show consisting of six volumes, released in 1987 and 1988 on VHS. The show is a mixture of live action, animation, and puppets. Characters included Ernie (not the one from Sesame Street), who sang a song about the letter M; Snorkee, a dragon who is often messing with time; Maynard, an elderly man who loves blue, blue cheese, and laments over his wasted youth; Prof. Goodstuff, a Yoda lookalike scientist who acts like Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Shirley U'Jest, an African-American woman who loves red, and Piggle, a pig with a big Cookie Monster-like appetite whose voice was similar to that of Kermit the Frog (voiced like Lazy Smurf in volumes 2-6), among others. Many of the show's elements seem to have been copied from Sesame Street. The show was filmed in Los Angeles, CA. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
