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

Ever After (known in promotional material as Ever After: A Cinderella Story) is a 1998 American romantic period drama film directed by Andy Tennant from his own screenplay, co-written by Susannah Grant and Rick Parks. Co-produced by Fox Family Films and Mireille Soria Production, the film is inspired by Charles Perrault's 1697 fairy tale Cinderella and stars Drew Barrymore and Anjelica Huston, with Dougray Scott and Jeanne Moreau in supporting roles. The film removes the pantomime and supernatural elements commonly found in retellings of the Cinderella tale and instead treats the story as historical fiction, setting it in Renaissance-era France. Ever After released in theaters on July 31, 1998, to positive reviews from critics. It was a box-office success, grossing $98 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
