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

Bad Ol' Putty Tat is a 1949 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated cartoon short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on July 23, 1949, and stars Tweety and Sylvester. Tweety must evade the titular "puddy tat", Sylvester, who is once again in hot pursuit of Tweety, just so that he can eat him for his own personal snack. This cartoon is somewhat of an anomaly in the Sylvester & Tweety pairings in that Tweety provides almost all the dialogue, and then mainly to the audience. Tweety's voice is performed by Mel Blanc, who also screams out Sylvester's pain mid-film. The story was written by Tedd Pierce; he and fellow Warner Bros. cartoon writer Michael Maltese appear in caricature form as a pair of badminton players. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
