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.

How it feels

This is a short animated film featuring arctic animals having fun. A walrus sings and seals clap along to the music. It is a simple series of silly gags set in a snowy landscape.

What happens

Arctic Antics is a Silly Symphonies animated Disney short film. It was released on June 26, 1930. Ub Iwerks' name is on the draft, but Iwerks had left the Walt Disney Studio four months before the animators started producing the cartoon, Burt Gillett took over the Iwerks unit and finished the cartoon under his direction. The scenes of the singing walrus and the applauding seals are lifted directly from Wild Waves, a Mickey Mouse short directed by Gillett in late 1929. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
