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

Bartok the Magnificent is a 1999 American direct-to-video animated adventure comedy film directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. It is a standalone spin-off to the 1997 film Anastasia, also directed by Bluth and Goldman, with Hank Azaria reprising his role from Anastasia as Bartok, the albino bat who acted as Rasputin's sidekick in said film. The film shows Bartok as a con artist who has the opportunity to become a true hero. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
