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

Gulliver's Travels is a 2010 fantasy adventure comedy film directed by Rob Letterman in his live-action directorial debut, and written by Joe Stillman and Nicholas Stoller. It is loosely based on Part One (and slightly on Part Two) of the 1726 novel of the same name by Jonathan Swift, though the film takes place in the modern day and contains references to modern pop culture. It stars Jack Black in the title role, alongside Jason Segel, Emily Blunt, Amanda Peet, Billy Connolly, Chris O'Dowd, T.J. Miller, James Corden, Catherine Tate, and Olly Alexander. The film debuted in Spain on December 22, 2010, and was theatrically released in the United States on December 25, by 20th Century Fox, and in the United Kingdom the following day. It received negative reviews, and grossed $237.4 million worldwide on a budget of $112 million. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
