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

Red-Headed Baby is a 1931 American animated comedy short film. It is the sixth film in the Merrie Melodies series. The short was released as early as December 18, 1931. It was directed by Rudolf Ising. The short is the first from Warner Bros. Pictures to not feature a recurring character, a staple of the Merrie Melodies series as it transitioned into an anthology series until it gradually lost its distinction from Looney Tunes; all previous cartoons had featured Bosko, Foxy, or Piggy.
