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

The Tigger Movie is a 2000 American animated musical comedy-drama film produced by Walt Disney Television Animation. Written and directed by Jun Falkenstein, it is the second theatrical Winnie the Pooh feature film, following The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977). It features Pooh's sidekick Tigger searching for his family tree and other Tiggers like himself. The film was the first feature-length theatrical Winnie the Pooh film that was not a collection of previously released shorts. It is also the first in the original films in which Tigger is voiced entirely by Jim Cummings (in addition to Winnie the Pooh) following the retirement of Tigger's original voice actor Paul Winchell in 1999. Since 1989, Cummings' had shared the role with Winchell and provided his singing voice in most projects, with Winchell as the character's speaking voice. The film features original songs from the Sherman Brothers. The Tigger Movie was originally planned as a direct-to-video release in 2001, until then–Disney CEO Michael Eisner heard the songs and decided to release the film in theaters a year early. It was released in the United States on February 11, 2000, by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $96 million. The film received three nominations at the Annie Awards, including Best Direction, Best Voice Acting, and Best Music. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
