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

September in the Rain is a 1937 American animated comedy short film directed by Isadore Freleng. The short was released on December 18, 1937. It is the 87th film in the Merrie Melodies series. Timed at 5 minutes and 50 seconds, September in the Rain is one of the shortest films in the series. It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1944, which removed scenes containing offensive racial stereotypes, cutting down the runtime to a measly 4 minutes. While it contains less racial stereotypes than that of Censored Eleven films, it remains unreleased on home media and television. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
