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

Bugs Bunny Nips the Nips is a 1944 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Friz Freleng. The cartoon, released on April 22, 1944, stars Bugs Bunny. A propaganda film that depicts Bugs fighting against the Imperial Japanese Army in the Pacific War, it is now considered controversial for caricaturing the Japanese enemy and expressing anti-Japanese sentiment, and while not one of the Censored Eleven cartoons it has been removed from circulation by Warner Bros.
