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

Herr Meets Hare is a 1945 Merrie Melodies anti-Nazi propaganda animated short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on January 13, 1945 during World War II, and features Bugs Bunny. This short, released not long before the collapse of the Third Reich, was the penultimate wartime themed cartoon from Warner Bros. Cartoons (Draftee Daffy was the last) being released just under four months before Victory in Europe Day. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
