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

Goldilocks and the Jivin' Bears is a 1944 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng and produced by an uncredited Eddie Selzer. The short was released on September 2, 1944. Because of the racial stereotypes of black people throughout the short, it is withheld from circulation, one of the so-called "Censored Eleven" shorts. It is the only Censored Eleven short not to be produced by Leon Schlesinger as he had sold the studio to Warner Bros. Pictures around the release of this cartoon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
