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: Princess Adventure is a 2020 CGI-animated musical adventure comedy children's television film directed by Conrad Helten and written by Ann Austen, which was first released on Netflix in the United States on September 1, 2020. The 37th entry in the Barbie film series, this is the first Barbie-branded production produced by Mattel Television since their mid-2019 rebrand from Mattel Creations and also Mainframe Studios since their announcement to return to their naming origins as Mainframe Entertainment on March 16, 2020 as part of a rebrand from their previous name, Rainmaker Studios. It is the second television film in the Barbie media franchise after Barbie Dolphin Magic (2017) and would be the catalyst for Mattel shifting the focus of the franchise to television forays.
