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

Back Alley Oproar is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on March 27, 1948, and features Sylvester and Elmer Fudd. The title is a play on "uproar" and "opera". This is a rare exception for Sylvester as he wins in this cartoon. It is a remake of Freleng's Notes to You (1941), which itself would be remade in Le Quiet Squad, a short in DePatie-Freleng Enterprises' The Inspector series of shorts, of which Freleng served as a producer on all entries.
