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

Barbie Dolphin Magic or Barbie: Dolphin Magic is a 2017 CGI-animated adventure television film directed by Conrad Helten and written by Jennifer Skelly that premiered on YTV in Canada on September 17 and the following day on Netflix in the United States and globally. The 36th entry in the Barbie film series and the backdoor pilot to Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures, it features the voice of Erica Lindbeck for the final time as Barbie and is the only Barbie film to be produced by Mainframe Studios under the name of "Rainmaker Studios" following internal business structure reorganization after consolidation into a division of WOW! Unlimited Media. This marks the first time a Barbie film has neither premiered on American television nor distributed by Universal Pictures, although Universal did release DVD, video on demand and Digital HD copies of the film. The film was dedicated to the memory of Canadian production editor David Hall, who died in a car accident a few months prior to the release of the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
