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

This is a short cartoon from 1932 starring a human comedy team named Tom and Jerry. One is tall and thin, the other short and plump. They sing, dance, and get into silly situations with gags and musical effects.

What happens

Tom and Jerry, also known as Dick and Larry in Official Films cartoons, produced by Amadee Van Beuren, is a series of short cartoons released by RKO Radio Pictures between 1931 and 1933. Each cartoon placed them in a new situation or occupation; the pair sang, danced and used musical effects and gags. The characters are not related to MGM's later cat‑and‑mouse team; instead they are a human comedy team: a tall, thin character (Tom) and a short, plump partner (Jerry) – a combination animation historians describe as “Mutt and Jeff-ish”.
