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

Kapitein Rob en het Geheim van Professor Lupardi (English: Captain Rob and the Secret of Professor Lupardi) is a 2007 Dutch adventure film directed by Hans Pos, based on Evert Werkman and Pieter J. Kuhn's eponymous newspaper comic Kapitein Rob. De Waal and Hans Pos wrote the script in collaboration with their production companies Screenpartners B.V. and Shooting Star Filmcompany. The film was released in the Netherlands on November 28. It received a Gouden Film award in 2007 and a MovieSquad Junior Award in 2008, but was otherwise neither a critical nor a commercial success. Critic Jan Pieter Ekker of De Volkskrant felt the story was comparable to "cardboard" and that its low budget showed too much. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
