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

Two Scent's Worth is a 1955 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies short directed by Chuck Jones. The short was released on October 15, 1955, and stars Pepé Le Pew. The title is a play on the term "two cents worth", meaning one's unsolicited opinion. In the film, a bank robber uses an ordinary cat (Penelope Pussycat) disguised as a skunk to scare away the patrons of the bank. The cat unwittingly attracts a real skunk who falls in love with her. Pepé Le Pew chases his love interest through the French Alps. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
