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

Love Nest on Wheels is a 1937 Educational Pictures short subject directed by Buster Keaton and Charles Lamont. The film borrows heavily from Keaton's 1918 film The Bell Boy and was a kind of "Hillbilly remake". The film is notable because it is one of the rare times that Buster Keaton appeared onscreen with his family, with whom he had performed in vaudeville as the Three Keatons. The Keaton family also appeared together in the 1935 Educational short Palooka from Paducah. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
