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

Porky's Pooch is a 1941 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Bob Clampett. The short was released on December 27, 1941, and stars Porky Pig. This is the last short Bob Clampett directed using the "Katz" unit, which would be given to Norman McCabe the same year. Clampett would continue directing shorts using Tex Avery's former unit from that point forward. The short was remade in 1947 as Chuck Jones's Little Orphan Airedale, which introduced the finalized and recognizable character of Charlie Dog, although it was confirmed that the dog in this cartoon is actually Charlie dog's first prototype.
