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

Pattabhishekam (transl. Coronation) is a 1999 Indian Malayalam-language action comedy film directed by Anil–Babu and starring Jayaram, Mohini, Harisree Ashokan and Jagathy Sreekumar. An elephant from Mangalamkunnu played the role of Lakshmikutty in the film. The film was a superhit at the box office success and became popular. After this film, Jayaram did other elephant-based films such as Aanachandam (2006) and Thiruvambadi Thamban (2012). This film inspired by the 1996 Hollywood film Larger Than Life.
