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

This cartoon follows two mice, one big and clueless and the other small and crafty, as they try to get food from a refrigerator. The pair's antics are based on a famous comedy duo's routine.

What happens

Tale of Two Mice (billed on the lobby card and reissued as A Tale Of Two Mice) is a 1945 Warner Bros. cartoon in the Looney Tunes series, directed by an uncredited Frank Tashlin. It is a sequel to 1942's A Tale of Two Kitties, with the Abbott and Costello characterizations ("Babbit and Catstello") now cast as mice. As with the prior cartoon, they are voiced by Tedd Pierce and Mel Blanc respectively. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
