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

Jumpin' Jupiter is a 1955 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on August 6, 1955 and stars Porky Pig and Sylvester. It is the third and last of a series of comedy horror-themed cartoons that starred the duo, with the other two being Scaredy Cat (1948) and Claws for Alarm (1954). They all had the running theme of Porky and Sylvester settling down for the night in a location that was dangerous, with Porky being oblivious and Sylvester being aware and trying to alert Porky, but only succeeding in annoying him. It is also the final cartoon in the golden age of American animation featuring Porky before he was permanently paired with Daffy Duck. This entry sees Porky and Sylvester camping in the desert and being abducted by an alien from Jupiter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
