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

A-Lad-In His Lamp is a 1948 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. The short stars Bugs Bunny, and features the genie and Caliph Hassan Pfeffer, who is after Bugs and the genie in his lamp. The voices of Bugs and Caliph Hassan Pfeffer are performed by Mel Blanc, and the voice of the genie is provided by Jim Backus. The cartoon is a takeoff of the story of Aladdin's Lamp. Elements of this short would later be re-used for the Arabian era in Bugs Bunny & Taz: Time Busters. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
