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
The Return of Jafar (retroactively titled Aladdin 2: The Return of Jafar on later releases) is a 1994 American direct-to-video animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. It is the first sequel to Disney's 1992 animated feature film, Aladdin, made by combining the planned first five episodes of the Aladdin animated television series into a feature-length film. Released on May 20, 1994, in North America, it was the second Disney animated feature film sequel, after The Rescuers Down Under (1990), and the first Disney direct-to-video animated feature film. It also marked the first American direct-to-video animated feature film. Gilbert Gottfried, Jonathan Freeman, Scott Weinger, Frank Welker, Brad Kane and Linda Larkin reprise their roles from the first film, with Jason Alexander, Val Bettin, Liz Callaway, and Dan Castellaneta joining the cast. The film received mostly negative reviews but sold 15 million VHS tapes, grossing more than $300 million (equivalent to $651,661,428 in 2025) on a budget of approximately $5 million (equivalent to $10,861,024 in 2025), making it one of the United States' best-selling films on home video.
