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
Nimona is a 2023 American animated science fantasy action-adventure film directed by Nick Bruno and Troy Quane and written by Robert L. Baird and Lloyd Taylor, based on the 2015 graphic novel by ND Stevenson. Set in a medieval-futuristic kingdom, the film features the voices of Chloë Grace Moretz as the eponymous shapeshifting character and Riz Ahmed as her boss and former knight Ballister, with Eugene Lee Yang, RuPaul Charles, Indya Moore, Julio Torres, Frances Conroy and Lorraine Toussaint voicing supporting roles. The story follows Ballister who, after he is framed for the murder of the Queen, teams up with Nimona on a mission to clear his name. Originally a production of Blue Sky Studios, it was set to be directed by Patrick Osborne, with an initial release date of 2020. Following the Walt Disney Company's acquisition of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of Blue Sky, it was delayed a couple times before being canceled due to Blue Sky's closure in April 2021. However, Annapurna Pictures revived the project the following year, with Bruno and Quane announced as directors, DNEG Animation providing animation, and Netflix acquiring worldwide distribution. Christophe Beck was hired to compose the film's rock-inspired score. Nimona had its world premiere at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 14, 2023, was released in select theaters on June 23, and made its streaming debut on June 30. The film received critical acclaim and was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the Critics' Choice, Annie Awards and Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
