The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Gumby: The Movie (referred to as its on-screen title Gumby 1) is a 1995 American stop-motion surrealist claymation adventure comedy film featuring Gumby. The film is dedicated to Sri Sathya Sai Baba. The film was released on October 4, 1995, and received generally negative reviews from critics. The film was also a box office failure that grossed only $57,100 against its $2.8 million budget at the U.S. box office, although much of its financial shortcomings can be attributed to its limited theatrical rollout. It has since gained a cult following among fans of Gumby and was later moderately successful on home video sales. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
