Tales from Europe
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
Tales from Europe was a British children's television anthology strand, first broadcast on BBC 1 between 1 October 1964 and 22 May 1969. The series presented narrated or dubbed European films, primarily fairy tales and fantasy adventures, in episodic form for British audiences. The programme consisted of a curated selection of films sourced from across Europe, including Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. The films were originally produced for cinema release, and were edited by the BBC into episodic format for television broadcast. Tales from Europe was an early example of international content acquisition in British children's broadcasting, which introduced British children to other cultures, languages and aesthetics. It is especially remembered for the East German film The Singing Ringing Tree. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
