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

Bosko's Holiday is a 1931 American animated comedy short film. It is the eleventh film in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko. It was released as early as May 2, 1931. It was directed by Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, and the film score was composed by Frank Marsales. It marks a turning point in the Looney Tunes series, focusing on visual gags over musical elements, which were relegated to the then-new Merrie Melodies series, while reusing a lot of animation from its predecessors.
