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.
How it feels
Betty Boop and her dog Pudgy go on a train ride adventure. They encounter various obstacles and funny situations along the way.

What happens
Riding the Rails is a 1938 Fleischer Studios animated short film featuring Betty Boop and Pudgy the Pup. Although some sources claim that this film was nominated for an Academy Award, it does not appear in the official Academy Awards database, apparently being confused with "Ridin' the Rails", which was nominated for Best One-Reel (Live Action) Short Subject at the 1951 Academy Awards. The film inspired a large variety of collectibles in the 1930s, although originals are now rare to find. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
