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

Rabbit Punch is a 1948 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies theatrical cartoon. The short was released on April 10, 1948 and features Bugs Bunny. The work features a boxing match between "Battling McGook" (identified as "The Crusher" in subsequent cartoons) and Bugs Bunny. The script reuses several gags from Baseball Bugs, which also had contributions from Michael Maltese, but was directed by Friz Freleng. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
