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
Fun with Frith is an early Australian television series. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7 in 1957, from 9 March to 15 June 1957 for a total of fifteen episodes. The series was broadcast at 7:25PM on Saturdays, each episode being a brief 5 minutes long. The series featured cartoonist John Frith, who provided jokes and sketches. Fun with Frith was preceded on HSV's schedule by American series Kaleidoscope and followed by another US series, Grantland Rice. The archival status of Fun with Frith is not known. Additionally, it was not the only five-minute series to have aired on HSV-7 during 1957. For example, Green Fingers started off as a five-minute series before expanding to 15 minutes. GTV-9, meanwhile, offered a five-minute music series, also at 7:25PM on Saturdays, with Dennis Gibbons and Stan Stafford alternating each week. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
