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.

It is based on the characters Alvin and the Chipmunks created by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. and the Chipettes created by Janice Karman. It is the fourth and final installment in the live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks film series. The ensemble cast includes Jason Lee, Tony Hale, Kimberly Williams-Paisley and Josh Green. Justin Long, Matthew Gray Gubler and Jesse McCartney all reprise their voice roles as the Chipmunks, while Kaley Cuoco, Anna Faris and Christina Applegate voice the Chipettes. The plot centers on the Chipmunks (Alvin, Simon, and Theodore) as they head to Miami after believing that Dave Seville will propose to his girlfriend Samantha, who has a son who bullies the Chipmunks. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip was released in the United States on December 18, 2015, by 20th Century Fox. The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $235 million against a $90 million budget, becoming the lowest-grossing entry in the series. At the 36th Golden Raspberry Awards, Cuoco won a Razzie for Worst Actress. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
