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

The Swan Princess: Christmas is a 2012 American animated musical fantasy family film directed by Richard Rich, produced by Crest Animation Productions and Nest Family Entertainment. It is the fourth film in The Swan Princess series, and the first in 14 years. In the film, Princess Odette and Prince Derek celebrate their first Christmas together. However, their enemy, Rothbart has returned as a ghost and plans to become mortal again by ruining the kingdom's Christmas spirit. The film takes place after the events of the first film, but before the events of the second film. While the three previous films in the series were animated using traditional 2D hand-drawn techniques, The Swan Princess Christmas was the first in the series to be created entirely with CGI animation. Out of all of the cast members James Arrington is the only one to return from the original film and its sequels, Doug Stone reprises his role as Speed from the sequels and Sean Wright reprises his role of Rothbart from The Swan Princess III: The Mystery of the Enchanted Treasure. The film is followed by an animated direct-to-DVD entitled The Swan Princess: A Royal Family Tale released one year later. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
