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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
A young boy dreams of a land full of toys. The film combines live action with early stop-motion animation.

What happens
«Сон о стране игрушек» (англ. A Dream of Toyland, альтернативные названия Dreams of Toyland и In the Land of Nod) — фильм Артура Мельбурн-Купера, сочетавший игру живых актёров с одним из первых удачных опытов кукольной анимации. Фильм сохранился без последней сцены, где мама снова укладывает мальчика спать. Один из первых британских мультфильмов для детей, важная веха в истории британского кинематографа.
