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

Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked is a 2011 American jukebox musical comedy film directed by Mike Mitchell and written by Jonathan Aibel and Glenn Berger, based on the characters Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Chipettes. The third in the live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks film series, it stars Jason Lee, David Cross, and Jenny Slate, with Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler, Jesse McCartney, Amy Poehler, Anna Faris, and Christina Applegate in voice roles. In the film, playing around while aboard a cruise ship, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes go overboard and end up marooned on a tropical island, where they discover their new turf is not as deserted as it seems. Chipwrecked was released in the United States on December 16, 2011, by 20th Century Fox. The film received negative reviews from critics, but grossed $349 million against a budget of $75–80 million. A fourth and final film, The Road Chip, was released in 2015. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
