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
Bump the Elephant is a British animated children's television series which was created by Charles Mills and Terry Brain (who had previously created The Trap Door and Stoppit and Tidyup), produced by Bump Enterprises Ltd. and originally shown on BBC One from 14 September 1990 to 26 December 1994. The series' two main protagonists are the eponymous Bump (a baby elephant who is very clumsy, a trait that emphasised by a bandage on his forehead) and his friend Birdie (a bluebird who often gives Bump advice on how he can become more graceful). The two series ran a total of twenty-six episodes, each 5 minutes long. The twenty-seventh and final episode was a Christmas special that was 10 minutes long. The programme is narrated by Simon Cadell. Bump and Birdie regularly encounter animals that have a problem (such as Whizzer the mouse, Munch the tortoise, McDuff the dog, Big Bun and Little Bun the rabbits and Batty the bat) and help them to find a solution. Most of these animals are recurring characters, and all of the characters' Stoppit and Tidyup-like sounds were generated by analogue synthesizers. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
