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.

How it feels

Laurel and Hardy are two friends who try to get a better price from a loan shark only to accidentally destroy his furniture. Their attempts to pay him back lead to a series of slapstick mishaps involving a car, a butcher, and a wife.

What happens

Thicker than Water is a short film starring Laurel and Hardy, directed by James W. Horne, produced by Hal Roach, and released in 1935 by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. The short also features James Finlayson and Daphne Pollard in supporting roles. It was the last two-reel comedy starring the comedy team, as Hal Roach decided to end Laurel and Hardy short films and move them solely into feature films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
