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
Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken is a 2023 American animated teen comedy film produced by DreamWorks Animation. Directed by Kirk DeMicco and written by Brian C. Brown, Elliott DiGuiseppi and Pam Brady, it stars the voices of Lana Condor, Toni Collette, Annie Murphy, Colman Domingo, and Jane Fonda. The film follows a shy Kraken girl named Ruby Gillman (Condor) who is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High. When she breaks her mother's (Collette) rule by going into the ocean with any would-be friends, she discovers that she is a direct descendant of battle-hardened krakens who have protected the sea from evil mermaids for generations, and is also destined to inherit the throne from her grandmother (Fonda). Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 15, 2023, and was released in the United States by Universal Pictures on June 30. The film received mixed reviews from critics and was a box-office failure, grossing $46 million against a $70 million budget, making it DreamWorks Animation's second-lowest-grossing film to date, following Spirit Untamed in 2021.
