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

Prest-O Change-O is a 1939 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, and first released on March 25, 1939, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the second appearance of the manic white hare from Porky's Hare Hunt, and its only appearance in a color film. The next hare-based short film, Hare-um Scare-um (1939), would feature a gray hare more closely resembling the character it would develop into, Bugs Bunny. (The white hare would make one final appearance in 1940's Patient Porky.) (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
