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
The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives is a 1932 American animated comedy short film directed by Rudolf Ising. It is the nineteenth film in the Merrie Melodies series. The short was released early alongside the film Vanity Street on December 21, 1932, at the Warner Bros. Theater in Hollywood; the short would be released in theaters in the United States on December 24, 1932. It is the final Harman-Ising era cartoon distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures to not have its copyright renewed, and is hence in the public domain. It makes use of a Great Depression setting of Christmas where Santa Claus is seeking shelter. The short takes place at a shantytown; hence the name "The Shanty Where Santy Claus Lives". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
