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

It's the Girl in the Red Truck, Charlie Brown is the 32nd prime-time animated television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M. Schulz. It is a hybrid of animation and live-action footage, and features Snoopy’s brother Spike in lieu of the core Peanuts characters. A spin-off focused on Spike's unrequited love for a young woman, it was described as being similar to Beauty and the Beast. This Peanuts special was not well-received by critics.
