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

Donald's Dilemma is a Walt Disney Studios animated cartoon directed by Jack King and starring Donald and Daisy Duck. It was originally released on July 11, 1947 in the United States. The title of this short is a misnomer, as it is Daisy, rather than Donald, who faces the titular dilemma. The song "No One But Donald Duck", which became Donald Duck's official theme song, made its debut in this cartoon. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
