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

Porky and Gabby is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Ub Iwerks (Mickey Mouse's co-creator). The short was released on May 15, 1937. It is the 85th film in the Looney Tunes series, the 23rd cartoon to feature Porky Pig and the first to feature Gabby Goat. The cartoon was the first of four cartoons for which animation production was subcontracted by Leon Schlesinger to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. studio. When production fell behind, Bob Clampett, Chuck Jones, and Robert Cannon temporarily joined the Iwerks staff to help with the animation. Iwerks was reunited with his former employees, Jones and Carl W. Stalling, on the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
