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
Little Monsters is a 1989 American fantasy comedy film directed by Richard Alan Greenberg, written by Terry Rossio and Ted Elliott, and starring Fred Savage, Daniel Stern, Margaret Whitton, Rick Ducommun, and Howie Mandel. It tells the story of a young boy named Brian Stevenson who befriends a real-life "monster under the bed" named Maurice and discovers a secret world of monsters who sneak into children's bedrooms at night to pull pranks on them. Although the film failed financially, receiving a limited theatrical release due to Vestron's bankruptcy, it obtained a cult following on home video. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
