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

è un film d'animazione giapponese del 1931. Alcuni bambini esprimono cantando il desiderio di avere un gatto nero. Passeggiando nel bosco, si imbattono proprio nell'animale tanto desiderato. Il gatto nero si presenta, snocciolando la propria genealogia risalente alla spaventosa tigre e vantando il proprio aspetto attuale, che non spaventa più gli umani. I bambini iniziano a danzare assieme a lui. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
