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.

How it feels

This is a low-budget British film from 1999. The title and packaging suggest it might be an episode of a planned series about two characters, but no other episodes exist. The film is confusing about whether its real name is Bait.

What happens

Minotaur and Little Nerkin is a 1999 British film. Its full name appears, according to the film itself, to be Minotaur and Little Nerkin in Bait, suggesting that its name is in fact "Bait", as an episode of a suggested series of films called Minotaur and Little Nerkin, of which no other episodes were made, or that the name of the film is Bait and is merely stating it stars Minotaur and Little Nerkin. Minotaur and Little Nerkin is the name used on the packaging for the Movie DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
