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.

How it feels

Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck star in a spoof of classic cartoons like Fantasia. The short features two famous waltzes by Johann Strauss and presents silly gags and slapstick humor.

What happens

A Corny Concerto is a 1943 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies directed by Bob Clampett. The short was released on September 25, 1943, and stars Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Elmer Fudd and Daffy Duck. They perform a parody of Walt Disney's Silly Symphony cartoon series and specifically his 1940 feature Fantasia. The film uses two of Johann Strauss's best known waltzes, "Tales from the Vienna Woods" and "The Blue Danube". The short entered the public domain in 1970, due to United Artists, the holder of the short at the time, failing to renew the copyright by that year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
