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

America's Most Talented Kid is an American television series that premiered on NBC on March 28, 2003. In each round, three age groups (3–7, 8–12, 13–16) of talented children would perform songs, dance numbers, magic, and other forms of entertainment in front of head judge Lance Bass and other guest celebrity judges, such as Sisqo, Maureen McCormick, Jermaine Jackson and Daisy Fuentes. Host Mario Lopez led the highest scorer from each round until only three children were left to compete in the grand finale. In the end, Cheyenne Kimball was crowned the grand champion. The final NBC episode featured senior citizens competing in the special America's Most Talented Senior. A limited-run series on NBC to compete with the growing talent-show trend in reality television, it would later move to PAX TV (which then had a business/content-sharing relationship with Paxson Communications), the title pluralized to "Kids", with Dave Coulier as host and Daryl Sabara, Scarlett Pomers and Bobb'e J. Thompson as judges. Unlike the NBC version, however, each show would crown a $1,000 winner and give the winner a finale slot. The Grand Champion of this season was then 13-year-old rock violinist/singer/songwriter Antonio Pontarelli. In 2004 American Idol runner-up Diana DeGarmo, 2007 American Idol winner Jordin Sparks, plus American Idol season 9 contestant Aaron Kelly appeared on the show. Singer Tori Kelly performed on the show during the PAX TV run and won, beating out singer and accordionist, Hunter Hayes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
