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

Sabrina the Teenage Witch is a 1996 American television film adaptation based on the comic book series of the same name from Archie Comics. It preceded the Sabrina the Teenage Witch television series and premiered on Showtime on April 7, 1996. The only two actors who would appear in both the film and television series would be Melissa Joan Hart, whose character possessed a different surname (Sawyer) from her comic book and television counterpart (Spellman), and Michelle Beaudoin, who played Sabrina's best friend, named Marnie in the film and renamed Jenny for the television series. Also of note is the fact that, unlike the comics, which were set in the fictional town of Greendale, and the eventual television series (located in an equally fictional town named Westbridge), the television film was said to take place in Riverdale. This was the name originally used in the comics for the home of Archie and his group of friends. Although set in the United States, just like the comics and television series, the movie was shot entirely in British Columbia, Canada. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
