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

Babes in the Woods is a 1932 Silly Symphonies animated short film produced by Walt Disney. It is a re-working of the British folk tale Babes in the Wood, with some material incorporated from Brothers Grimm's Hansel and Gretel, the Russian folk tale The Boy and the Witch, and the addition of a village of friendly elves (a feature not traditionally present in either tale) and a happier ending. It is the last Disney short to produce with Cinephone synchronized sound system. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
