The system identifies, as specified by the query, portions of the movie related information relating to the frame, and retrieves those portions of the movie related information. These retrieved portions of said movie related information are presented to the user. Also discussed is a manager to enable users to create personalized versions of movies, and personalized collections of items. Also discussed is a system and method for providing to users on demand access to merchandise information related to a movie, and for providing on demand connectivity to merchants, while the movie is being presented to the users.
