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

Wild Over You is a 1953 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes short animated film directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on July 11, 1953, and stars Pepé Le Pew. In this short, a wildcat escapes from a zoo in Paris and paints herself with black and white paint, which attracts an amorous and hopelessly romantic skunk, Pepé Le Pew, who mistakes her for another skunk. It is the first Pepé Le Pew cartoon to have Maurice Noble credited for layouts, and the first credited animation by Abe Levitow. The human characters and signage in the animation use Franglais to signal to an American audience that the cartoon takes place in France, with the heavily accented Pepé Le Pew resembling actor Charles Boyer.
