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

The Bob's Burgers Movie is a 2022 American animated musical mystery adventure comedy film based on the animated sitcom created by Loren Bouchard. Directed by Bouchard and series director Bernard Derriman and written by Bouchard and Nora Smith, the original voice cast from the series reprise their roles, including H. Jon Benjamin, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman, Larry Murphy, John Roberts, Kristen Schaal, David Wain, Zach Galifianakis, and Kevin Kline. Set between the 12th and 13th seasons of Bob's Burgers, the plot follows Bob and his family's struggles with paying their loan after a sinkhole opens in front of their restaurant and affects business, while the kids try to solve the murder of a carnie. The Bob's Burgers Movie premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on May 17, 2022, and was theatrically released by 20th Century Studios in the United States on May 27, following previous delays of almost two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film received positive reviews from critics, but only grossed $34 million against a $38 million budget, becoming a box office disappointment. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
