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.

What happens

Max veut grandir est un court-métrage français, muet réalisé par Max Linder en 1912. Giacordy n'accepte de se marier qu'avec une personne beaucoup plus grande qu'elle. Max tente alors sa chance, d'abord il utilise des échasses, puis il s'en remet aux effets d'une nouvelle machine révolutionnaire. Mais comme il ne sait pas l'utiliser, c'est l'inverse qui se produit et le voila à présent petit et gros. Après avoir eu recours à l'électricité, il parviendra à gagner le cœur de la belle.
