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

Three's a Crowd is a 1932 American animated comedy short film directed by Rudolf Ising. It is the eighteenth film in the Merrie Melodies series. The short was released on December 10, 1932. Three's a Crowd is the first Warner Bros. cartoon to feature the theme of literary characters' coming to life and escaping their books, a common fixture in the Merrie Melodies series; it was famously revisited in 1937 and 1938 by Frank Tashlin in Speaking of the Weather, Have You Got Any Castles, and You're an Education and by Bob Clampett in 1946's Book Revue.
