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
Bosko gets into silly situations with animals and nature. The short cartoon features reused animation from an earlier film.

What happens
The Tree's Knees is a 1931 American animated comedy short film. It is the twelfth film in the Looney Tunes series featuring Bosko. It was released as early as May 16, 1931. It was the last cartoon in the series to be directed by both Hugh Harman and Rudolf Ising, and the first to be produced by Leon Schlesinger beyond an associate producer credit. Every Looney Tunes cartoon after this was directed by Hugh Harman until 1933, and every Merrie Melodies cartoon was directed by Rudolf Ising until the aforementioned year. The short reuses animation Ain't Nature Grand!. The film score was composed by Frank Marsales. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
