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

Yankee Doodle Bugs is a 1954 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short, written by Warren Foster and directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on August 28, 1954, and stars Bugs Bunny. In the short, Bugs' nephew Clyde has trouble remembering important dates and events in American history in preparation for an exam, so Bugs offers to help, but recounts his version of American history. The cartoon's title is a humorous portmanteau of the American folk song "Yankee Doodle" and the word "doodlebug". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
