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 princess falls asleep by a lake and dreams of being kidnapped by evil spirits. She wakes up briefly but then the dream shifts to a fairy and a prince. When she wakes again, she finds an old marquis instead of her dream prince.

Les mauvais génies du lac l'emportent dans une grotte, où des gnomes se préparent à la brûler vive. La princesse s'éveille un instant puis se rendort. La fée du lac apparait, tandis qu'un beau prince lui chuchote à l'oreille. Elle se réveille, mais c'est un vieux marquis décati qu'elle trouve en lieu et place de son rêve. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
