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

Hot and Cold Penguin is a 1955 Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Alex Lovy and produced by Walter Lantz. It was the third Chilly Willy entry in the series and was the first cartoon Alex Lovy directed at the Walter Lantz Studio since his departure in 1943. Although Tex Avery had departed the year prior, he left behind several storyboards ultimately utilized by Lovy for Hot and Cold Penguin, Room and Wrath and Hold That Rock. Lovy remained director of the series for the remainder of the decade. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
