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

Big Hero 6 is a 2014 American animated superhero film loosely based on the superhero team from Marvel Comics. Produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, it was directed by Don Hall and Chris Williams, and written by Jordan Roberts, Robert L. Baird and Daniel Gerson. It stars the voices of Scott Adsit, Ryan Potter, Daniel Henney, T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, James Cromwell, Maya Rudolph and Alan Tudyk. The film tells the story of Hiro Hamada (Potter), a young robotics prodigy and Baymax (Adsit), a healthcare robot invented by his late older brother, Tadashi (Henney). They form a superhero team to combat a masked supervillain (Cromwell) responsible for Tadashi's death. Big Hero 6 is the first Disney animated film to feature Marvel Comics characters, whose parent company was acquired by Disney in 2009. Walt Disney Animation Studios created new software technology to produce the animation. Big Hero 6 debuted at the 27th Tokyo International Film Festival on October 23, 2014 and was released in the United States on November 7. The film received positive reviews from critics, and grossed $658 million, becoming the highest-grossing animated film of 2014. At the 87th Academy Awards, the film won Best Animated Feature. It also received seven nominations for Annie Awards, winning one, and a Golden Globe nomination. Big Hero 6 was followed by three television series: Big Hero 6: The Series premiered in 2017, Baymax Dreams premiered in 2018, and Baymax! premiered in 2022. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
