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
Porky Pig runs a blacksmith shop. He deals with a series of ridiculous situations involving customers and tools.

What happens
The Village Smithy is a 1936 American animated comedy short film directed by Fred Avery. The short was released on December 5, 1936. It is the 78th film in the Looney Tunes series and the sixteenth cartoon to feature Porky Pig. It is a parody of "The Village Blacksmith", introducing a level of self-reference not previously seen in cartoons, which would become commonplace in Avery's work. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
