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
Goofy Groceries is a 1941 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short film directed by Bob Clampett. The short was released on March 29, 1941. It is notable as Clampett's first color short, as well as his first not to star Porky Pig. Bearing a similar premise to earlier WB shorts Speaking of the Weather and Have You Got Any Castles but having a cast inspired by food products instead of magazines or books, the cartoon was written by Melvin Millar and produced by Leon Schlesinger. The animators included Vive Risto, Izzy Ellis, John Carey, Rod Scribner, and Cal Dalton. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
