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

«Маленький Мук» — советский рисованный мультфильм, созданный режиссёром Ольгой Ходатаевой и мультипликатором Петром Носовым в 1938 году, по мотивам одноимённой сказки Вильгельма Гауфа, на студии «Союзмультфильм». Варвара Бутягина выступила автором сценария, который был подан в ГУК в 1937 году. Находится в общественном достоянии, так как был выпущен более 70 лет назад. Является примером перехода от техники западной мультипликации к новой, впоследствии узнаваемой, манере советской анимации в целом и студии «Союзмультфильм». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
