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

Popeye the Sailor (titled onscreen as Popeye the Sailor with Betty Boop) is a 1933 animated short produced by Fleischer Studios and distributed by Paramount Publix Corporation. While billed as a Betty Boop cartoon, it was produced as a vehicle for Popeye in his debut animated appearance. Because of this, Betty makes a cameo appearance in the cartoon, while Popeye is the star of the cartoon. As the cartoon was released in 1933, Popeye's cartoon debut will be in the public domain in 2029. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
