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.
How it feels
An absent minded professor invents an elastic substance that can bounce on its own. He uses it to save a failing college and win back his fiancee.

What happens
Flubber is a 1997 American science-fiction comedy film directed by Les Mayfield (who had previously directed the John Hughes scripted remake, Miracle on 34th Street) and written by Hughes and Bill Walsh. A remake of The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), the film was produced by Walt Disney Pictures and stars Robin Williams, Marcia Gay Harden, Christopher McDonald, Ted Levine, Raymond J. Barry, Wil Wheaton and Clancy Brown, with Jodi Benson providing a voice. The film received negative reviews from critics, with criticism for its slapstick humor, special effects, story, script and comparisons to the original, though Williams’ performance was praised. Despite this, it was a commercial success, grossing $178 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
