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

The Wind in the Willows (released on VHS and DVD as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride in the United States) is a 1996 British adventure comedy film based on Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows, adapted and directed by Terry Jones, and produced by Jake Eberts and John Goldstone. The film stars Jones, Steve Coogan, Eric Idle and Nicol Williamson. While positively regarded by critics, the film was given only a very limited theatrical release in the U.S. due to a lawsuit between Columbia Pictures and Disney. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
