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
The Hollywood Bowl (often referred in full as Tom and Jerry in the Hollywood Bowl) is a 1950 American one-reel animated cartoon and is the 52nd Tom and Jerry short directed by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera and produced by Fred Quimby. The cartoon, as the title suggests, is set at the Hollywood Bowl in California, where Tom is conducting a large orchestra. The cartoon was animated by Kenneth Muse, Irven Spence, Ray Patterson and Ed Barge. It was released to theaters on September 16, 1950, and reissued in Perspecta sound on December 20, 1957. The music was scored by Scott Bradley, making use of Johann Strauss II's overture of his 1874 operetta Die Fledermaus, with intro and outro making use of Franz Liszt's 1854 symphonic poem, Les préludes.
