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
...And the World Laughs is a 1948 Brazilian musical and comedy film directed by Watson Macedo. According to the Dicionário de Filmes Brasileiros (Brazilian Film Dictionary), organized by Antonio Leão, it marks "the moment when Watson Macedo begins to chart the path of what came to be called musical chanchada." According to O Cruzeiro magazine, "The main flaw of this Atlântida production is in the script. And this is mainly what irritates the most in national cinema. Since there were possibilities to present a technically acceptable show, why use such a disjointed story, a mere pretext to showcase some musical numbers with the inevitable radio artists of our time?" The film is also referred to as And the World Has Fun (a more literal translation of the original Portuguese title, ...E o mundo se diverte.) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
