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

Dooly the Little Dinosaur (Korean: 아기공룡 둘리) is a South Korean media franchise created by cartoonist Kim Soo-jung. It was originally created as a manhwa (comic) that was serialized from 1983 to 1993. It centers on the titular Dooly, an anthropomorphic baby dinosaur character. The media franchise expanded to include a television series and animated film. Dooly is considered one of the most respected and commercially successful characters of South Korean animation. Dooly was even made a citizen of South Korea, and given a resident registration card. A Korean dinosaur species, Doolysaurus would be named after the character in 2026. There is an official sequel, Baby Saurus Dolly (베이비 사우르스 돌리), which came out in 1995. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
