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

Bye, Bye Bluebeard is a Warner Bros. cartoon in the Merrie Melodies series released on October 21, 1949. The cartoon was directed by Arthur Davis and stars Porky Pig. The title is a play on the song "Bye Bye Blackbird". It is the final Looney Tunes entry directed by Davis before his animation unit was dissolved by Warner Bros. and also a rare example of a Warner Bros. short in which a character (apparently) dies without a comic postscript (for example, reappearing as an angel or a ghost).
