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
Hungarian Folk Tales (Hungarian: Magyar népmesék, pronounced [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈneːpmɛʃeːk]) is a Hungarian animated series and one of the first and biggest successes of Pannonia Film Studio, based on studio head Ferenc Mikulás' original idea and directed by Marcell Jankovics. It originally played on television between 1980 and 2012. Episodes are based on Hungarian folk tales, and each one features the specific folk motives of a region of Hungary. The theme song and the score are composed by Kaláka, one of the best known Hungarian folk bands. A few episodes were dubbed into English and shown in the United States as part of Season 1 of the TV series Long Ago and Far Away in 1989. In 2017, all episodes were dubbed and published on YouTube, receiving over 19 million views by March 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
