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
A Gnome Named Gnorm (released in some markets as Upworld and The Adventures of a Gnome Named Gnorm) is a fantasy buddy comedy film directed by Stan Winston and written by Pen Densham and John Watson. Gnorm was the second and final feature film directed by Winston, an award-winning special effects artist who continued to work in special effects afterward. The film stars Anthony Michael Hall, Jerry Orbach, and Claudia Christian. Hall plays a Los Angeles police detective who teams up with a gnome to solve a murder. Vestron Video released Gnorm direct-to-video in the United Kingdom in 1990, but financial difficulties left the film passing between corporate owners before seeing a limited United States theatrical release in 1993 and a wide home video release in 1994. The film received generally negative reviews, with criticism focused on its heavy use of crude sexual humor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
