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 Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury is a 2004 American anime-influenced adult animated science fiction short film distributed by Universal Studios Home Video and animated by Sunwoo Entertainment and DNA Productions. It was directed by Korean-American animator Peter Chung. It features the returning voices of Vin Diesel, Rhiana Griffith, and Keith David reprising their roles from Pitch Black, as Richard B. Riddick, Imam Abu al-Walid, and Jack, respectively. An animated installment to the Chronicles of Riddick series, the film acts as a bridge point between Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, the latter released on the same year, and explains why Riddick decides to go into hiding and deliver Jack and Imam Abu al-Walid to New Mecca, setting up the events for the second film. The short film received mixed reviews. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
