The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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

Out of Scale is a 1951 American animated short film directed by Jack Hannah and produced by Walt Disney. In the short, Donald Duck has a ride-on sized train layout in his backyard. There is a large tree (home to Chip 'n' Dale) that is out of scale, so Donald moves it while they are out. They come back to see their tree moving. The chipmunks realise that one of Donald's model houses is perfect for their size. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
