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

The Sleepwalker is a cartoon starring Mickey's dog Pluto. It was produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures in 1942. The short marks the debut of Dinah the Dachshund, who later appears (with a design change) in Canine Casanova (1945), In Dutch (1946), Pluto's Heart Throb (1950) and Wonder Dog (1950), becoming Pluto's recurring love interest.
