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's Super Service is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Ub Iwerks. It was released on July 3, 1937. It is the 87th film in the Looney Tunes series and the 25th cartoon to feature Porky Pig. The cartoon was the second of four cartoons for which animation production was subcontracted by Leon Schlesinger to Ub Iwerks' Animated Pictures Corp. studio, and the final to be fully directed by Iwerks. Schlesinger animators Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones, on loan-out to Iwerks, completed supervision of the final two cartoons themselves. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
