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

Kung Fu Panda: Secrets of the Scroll is a 2015 American animated short film produced by DreamWorks Animation. It was included on the 2015 digital HD, and the 2016 Blu-ray and DVD re-release of the animated films Kung Fu Panda (2008) and its sequel Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011). The short tells both the stories of how the Furious Five came together, and how Po gained his love for kung fu. Jack Black, James Hong, Dustin Hoffman, Seth Rogen, David Cross, Randall Duk Kim and Lucy Liu reprise their roles from the movies, while Kari Wahlgren and James Sie replace Angelina Jolie and Jackie Chan as Tigress and Monkey, respectively.
