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.

The film features the voices of Coffin (as the Minions), Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, Michael Keaton, Allison Janney, Steve Coogan and Jennifer Saunders, with Geoffrey Rush as the narrator. In the film, the Minions search for their replaceable evil boss after, one-by-one, accidentally killing all their past leaders throughout history. Minions premiered in London on June 11, 2015, and was released in the United States on July 10, by Universal. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed $1.16 billion, becoming the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2015, the second-highest-grossing animated film and the tenth-highest-grossing film of all time. It began a film series consisting of two subsequent films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
