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.
How it feels
This is a public safety campaign from Australia that uses cute animated characters to show dangerous behaviors around trains. Each character meets a silly but grim end, teaching viewers to be careful near railway tracks.

What happens
Dumb Ways to Die is an Australian public awareness campaign video and media franchise made by Metro Trains in Melbourne, Victoria to promote railway safety. The original public service announcement video for the awareness campaign went viral on social media after it was released on the internet in November 2012, amassing over 340 million views on YouTube. The campaign's animation was later developed into a mobile game available to iOS and Android devices. On 1 October 2021, Australian game studio and publisher PlaySide Studios acquired the Dumb Ways to Die franchise for A$2.25 million from Metro. PlaySide Studios also released an NFT called BEANS on 3 February 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
