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

Sarah... Ang Munting Prinsesa (English: Sarah... The Little Princess) is a 1995 Filipino family drama film directed by Romy V. Suzara. The screenplay, written by Shaira Mella Salvador, was based on the 1985 Japanese anime Princess Sara, which in turn was based on the 1905 children's novel A Little Princess by British-American playwright and author Frances Hodgson Burnett. The film stars Camille Prats in the title role, with the cast including Rio Locsin, Mat Ranillo III, Angelica Panganiban, Romeo Rivera, and Jean Garcia. Produced and distributed by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on June 7, 1995. This is the fourth film adaptation that was based on the programs transmitted by ABS-CBN (both network-produced and foreign). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
