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
The Strange Adventures of Prince Courageous, also known as The Adventures of Prince Courageous, is a 1923 American silent fantasy film series starring Bessie Love and five-year-old Arthur Trimble, directed by Frederick G. Becker. Although it was planned to be a series of 12 two-reelers, only three films were made: The Little Knight, The Love Charm, and The Crown of Courage (also referred to as The Crown and Courage). A fourth film, The Little Defender, is documented in publications from as early as the 1930s, but is most likely an alternate title for The Crown of Courage. The Little Knight is preserved at the Harvard Film Archive, and The Little Defender is rare, but commercially available. The preservation status of The Love Charm is unknown.
