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

Brother Bear 2 is a 2006 American animated direct-to-video musical fantasy comedy-drama adventure film and the sequel to Disney Animation's 2003 film Brother Bear. Melissa Etheridge contributed three songs to the film. In the film, the adventures of bear brothers Kenai and Koda continue. While the first film dealt with Kenai's relationship with Koda, this one focuses more on his bond with a young human from his past, Nita. It was released on August 29, 2006. Jeremy Suarez, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, and Michael Clarke Duncan reprised their roles, with Patrick Dempsey replacing Joaquin Phoenix as Kenai. As heard in the first trailer, Jason Marsden was initially cast as Kenai before being replaced by Dempsey. The end credits still note Marsden as one of the additional voices. Jason Raize, the voice of Denahi in the first film, had died in 2004, and his character therefore does not appear in the film. Producer Jim Ballantine was removed from the project and replaced with Carolyn Bates. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
