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

Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders is a 2000 American direct-to-video animated science fiction romantic comedy mystery film. It is the third direct-to-video film based on Scooby-Doo Saturday morning cartoons. The film was produced by Warner Bros. Animation in association with Hanna-Barbera. It is the third of the first four Scooby-Doo direct-to-video films to be animated overseas by Japanese animation studio Mook Animation. Unlike the previous films and despite the grimmer atmosphere, it has a lighter tone. It is the last film to feature Mary Kay Bergman as the voice of Daphne, following her death in November 1999, and was dedicated in her memory. It is also the last film that longtime Scooby-Doo writer Glenn Leopold would write before leaving due to "creative differences" from Warner Bros. Additionally, it is the last film in the franchise to use cel animation, as starting with Scooby-Doo and the Cyber Chase, the films would utilize digital ink and paint. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
