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
Stranger Things: Tales from '85 is an American animated science fiction television series and a spin-off of Netflix's Stranger Things. First announced by Netflix in April 2025, it was executive produced by Stranger Things creators Matt and Ross Duffer, as well as Shawn Levy and Dan Cohen of 21 Laps, Hilary Leavitt of Upside Down Pictures, and Eric Robles with Flying Bark Productions. The series takes place between the events of the second and third seasons of Stranger Things, and depicts the children – Eleven, Mike, Dustin, Lucas, Will, and Max – as they confront new monsters of the Upside Down, and unravel a "paranormal mystery terrorizing their town". The Duffers intended to capture the feel of an '80s Saturday-morning cartoon in the Stranger Things universe. Stranger Things: Tales from '85 premiered with its first season on April 23, 2026, on Netflix, to mixed reviews from critics. Five days later, the series was renewed for a second season, which is set to be released later in the year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
