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

A Feud There Was is a 1938 American animated comedy short film directed by Fred Avery. The short was released on September 24, 1938. It is part of the Merrie Melodies series and the fourth cartoon to feature Elmer Fudd. It was re-released as a "Blue Ribbon" reissue in 1943 and 1952, rendering the original film lost; Avery kept a nitrate fragment of the original titles, which was sold by his family in 2004 to a private collector, but still available publicly at extremely low definition.
