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
During the ice age, a grumpy woolly mammoth, a chatty sloth, and a sly saber-toothed tiger form an unlikely group. They find a human baby and decide to work together to bring the baby back to its family.

What happens
Ice Age is a 2002 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Chris Wedge and written by Michael Berg, Michael J. Wilson, and Peter Ackerman. Produced by 20th Century Fox Animation and Blue Sky Studios (in the latter's debut film), it features an ensemble voice cast, including Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, and Denis Leary in their main roles, with Jane Krakowski, Jack Black, and Goran Višnjić in their supporting roles. Set during the days of the Pleistocene ice age, the film centers around an unlikely herd of three mammals—Manny, a no-nonsense woolly mammoth, Sid, a loudmouthed ground sloth, and Diego, a sardonic smilodon—who come across a human baby and work together to return it to its tribe. Ice Age was originally conceived by Fox Animation Studios as a traditionally animated film, but became a full-length CGI film from Blue Sky, which had been transformed from a visual effects house to a computer animation studio. Focus shifted from making an action-adventure drama film to a more comedy-oriented one, and several writers, including Berg and Ackerman, were brought on to lighten the tone. David Newman composed and conducted the film's musical score. Ice Age was released in the United States on March 15, 2002 by 20th Century Fox. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a box office success, grossing $383 million, and becoming the eighth highest-grossing film and the highest-grossing animated film of 2002. It was nominated at the 75th Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature. It spawned a franchise, consisting of several sequels starting with Ice Age: The Meltdown in 2006, as well as spin-offs, specials, shorts, and video games. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
