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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Rocket Robin Hood is a Canadian animated science fiction television series, placing the characters and conflicts of the classic Robin Hood legend in a futuristic, outer space setting. It was produced by Krantz Films, Inc. and aired on CBC Television from 1967 to 1969. The setting is the last year of the 30th century (year 3000), and a version of the despotic Prince John dominates the National Outer-space Terrestrial Territories (N.O.T.T.). Rocket Robin Hood and his Merry Men live in an asteroid named after Sherwood Forest, using spaceships to undermine John's plans. Despite the team having the term "men" in its name, Maid Marian serves as the team's only female member. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
