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

Superman helps a blonde female federal agent stop a ring of foreign spies from blowing up a dam and flooding a valley. The cartoon was the last in a series of animated Superman shorts released in the 1940s.

What happens

Secret Agent (1943) is the last of seventeen animated Technicolor short films based upon the DC Comics character Superman. Produced by Famous Studios, the cartoon was originally released to theaters by Paramount Pictures on July 30, 1943. This is the only short in which Lois Lane does not appear, although a female federal agent who looks identical to Lois (except with blonde hair) appears. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
