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

Gone Batty is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes animated cartoon short directed by Robert McKimson, released on September 4, 1954. The title (which means to go insane) is a direct allusion to the basic plot premise. This is the second Looney Tunes short to use baseball as its main theme following Baseball Bugs.
