The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 Banker's Daughter is a 1927 animated short film directed by Walt Disney and Isadore Freleng and distributed by Universal Pictures. It was Freleng's directorial debut, starting a career that would lead to his success as a director at Warner Bros. Cartoons. It was released on November 28, 1927. It is the earliest known Oswald the Lucky Rabbit shorts to remain lost, as Universal lost most of their pre-1935 cartoons out of neglect, while The Walt Disney Company could not find any surviving film prints. The only known elements to exist are the poster sketch, a production script, five story sketch pages and two animation drawings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
