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

Bushy Hare is a 1950 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. The short was released on November 18, 1950, and stars Bugs Bunny. Bugs winds up in the Australian Outback, where he is switched with a baby kangaroo and has to deal with an Aboriginal hunter. The title is a play on "bushy hair" along with Aboriginal people stereotypically being from "the bush" country. The baby kangaroo is played by Hippety Hopper, in a cameo appearance. This is the only cartoon in which Hippety Hopper is not paired with Sylvester the Cat, and the only one in which the character speaks (with one line at the end). Like Bugs, Hippety is voiced by Mel Blanc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
