The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

ImageMovers, L.L.C. (IM) (formerly known as South Side Amusement Company), is an American production company founded by filmmaker Robert Zemeckis in 1984. The company produces CGI animation, motion-capture, live-action films and television shows and is known for producing such films as Cast Away (2000), What Lies Beneath (2000), The Polar Express (2004), Monster House (2006), and Beowulf (2007). From 2007 to 2011, The Walt Disney Company and ImageMovers founded a joint venture animation facility known as ImageMovers Digital which produced two motion-captured CGI-animated films: A Christmas Carol (2009) and Mars Needs Moms (2011) for Walt Disney Pictures, neither of which were financially successful. This eventually caused the company to cut ties with Disney and scrapped both a live-action Yellow Submarine remake and a Roger Rabbit sequel, which were in development at the time.
