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

Little Hiawatha (also called Hiawatha) is a 1937 Silly Symphonies animated short film produced by Walt Disney, inspired by the poem The Song of Hiawatha by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The short does not appear to have historical correlation to legendary Mohawk leader and peacemaker Hiawatha. It was the last Silly Symphonies short to be released by United Artists.
