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

A cartoon cat tries to use a family of mice as musical instruments. The short centers on the cat's attempts to make music with the mice as unwilling performers.

What happens

Pizzicato Pussycat is a Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies animated short directed by Friz Freleng, released on January 1, 1955. The first half of the title is a playing technique for string instruments (such as guitars, violins, violas, cellos, and double basses) that involves plucking instead of using a bow (for the lattermost), and also serves as an allusion to the theme of the short.
