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

My Little Pony: The Movie is a 2017 animated musical high fantasy film, directed by Jayson Thiessen and based on the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic by Lauren Faust. The film features the show's regular voice cast of Ashleigh Ball, Andrea Libman, Tabitha St. Germain, Tara Strong and Cathy Weseluck, along with Uzo Aduba, Emily Blunt, Kristin Chenoweth, Taye Diggs, Michael Peña, Zoe Saldaña, Liev Schreiber and Sia. The film follows the flying unicorn Twilight Sparkle, her five pony friends—collectively known as the "Mane Six"—and her dragon friend and assistant Spike on a quest to save their home of Equestria from an evil conqueror, the Storm King. My Little Pony: The Movie was produced by Hasbro's Allspark Pictures and animated at DHX Media's Vancouver division, using traditional animation created using Toon Boom Harmony. The film premiered in New York City on September 24, 2017, and was released in the United States on October 6, by Lionsgate. It received mixed reviews from critics, but was a box-office success, grossing $61.3 million worldwide against a production budget of $6.5 million and becoming Lionsgate's highest-grossing animated feature to date.
