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

The Terrible Kids è un cortometraggio muto del 1906 diretto da Wallace McCutcheon e Edwin S. Porter. Ennesima variazione sul tema dei "ragazzini dispettosi", che tanta fortuna ebbe nel cinema fin dalle origini. Questa volta a dare loro manforte è un cane altrettanto dispettoso. Curiosamente si conosce il nome del cane (Mannie, the Edison Dog), ma non dei due ragazzini protagonisti del filmato. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
