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.
How it feels
A group of animals from an Australian zoo who are considered scary or dangerous decide they have had enough of being misunderstood. They escape their enclosure and try to make their way to the wild Outback to find a place where they will be accepted for who they are.
