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

Bonanza: Under Attack is a 1995 American made-for-television Western film. It is a sequel to the 1959–1973 television series Bonanza and television films Bonanza: The Next Generation (1988) and Bonanza: The Return (1993). The film was directed by Mark Tinker and features noted character actors Ben Johnson, Jack Elam (in his final appearance), and Richard Roundtree (reprising their roles from the 1993 film), as well as Leonard Nimoy and Dennis Farina. The film premiered on NBC on January 15, 1995. The only leading actors from the original series who were still alive during production, Pernell Roberts and David Canary, do not appear in the film. However, the cast does include Michael Landon Jr. and Dirk Blocker, sons of the original series's actors who starred as Little Joe and Hoss Cartwright. Nimoy and Farina portray real-life figures, outlaw Frank James (brother of Jesse James) and Pinkertons detective Charlie Siringo. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
