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.
How it feels

What happens
The Legend of Rockabye Point is a 1955 Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Tex Avery. It was produced by Walter Lantz Productions and was released on April 11, 1955. The cartoon was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film in the same year, but would lose to the Merrie Melodies short Speedy Gonzales. This is also the second (and last) Chilly Willy cartoon directed by Avery. The plot of the cartoon resembles an earlier cartoon Avery directed, that being the 1952 short Rock-a-Bye Bear for MGM. Charlie the Polarbear would also serve as a precursor to the character Maxie the Polarbear, who would first appear in the short Polar Fright eleven years later. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
