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

Don't Look Under the Bed is a 1999 American fantasy horror television film directed by Kenneth Johnson. It was released on October 9, 1999, as a Disney Channel Original Movie (DCOM). The film revolves around children encountering the Boogeyman. Don't Look Under the Bed was controversial during its production, as Disney was hesitant to include an interracial kiss in the film's climax. The kiss appeared in the final cut of the film. Don't Look Under the Bed garnered numerous complaints from parents, who said it scared their children. For this reason, Disney Channel withdrew it from circulation. Don't Look Under the Bed has received positive retrospective reviews, with critics praising it for being scary. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
