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

"아마게돈"(Armageddon)은 한국에서 제작된 이현세 감독의 1995년 애니메이션, SF 영화이다. 최불암 (나레이션) 등이 주연으로 출연하였는데 만화와 영화의 문법차이를 몰랐던 점, 처음 제작위원회가 만들어질 때 KBS 50부작 드라마로 기획했으나 경영 쪽에서 영화로 돌렸고 이 것을 막지 않은 총감독 겸 원작자(이현세)의 실패 탓인지 흥행 참패했으며 총감독 겸 원작자는 해당 애니메이션 흥행 실패 후 출판사와 이현세 엔터테인먼트를 차려서 애니메이션을 시도하려 했지만 모두 오래가지 못했다. 한편, 이병헌이 맡았던 오혜성 목소리 역은 당초 한석규가 물망에 올랐으나 영화 《은행나무 침대》촬영일정과 겹쳐 막판에 고사했고 케사로스 목소리 역은 최민식이 거론됐다.
