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

Odor of the Day is a 1948 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Arthur Davis. The short was released on October 2, 1948, and stars Pepé Le Pew. It is the only short in which he does not appear as a lover; it is also the only short in which he does not speak, save for one line at the end. This is also the second and last cartoon to feature Davis' character, Wellington the Dog, who previously appeared in Doggone Cats the year prior. The title is a play on the phrase "order of the day".
