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
Zoom and Bored is a 1957 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones, released on September 14, 1957, starring Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. The title is a play on room and board, just like the Sylvester and Tweety short Room and Bird. This is one of the few shorts where the Road Runner shows a soft side for Wile E. Coyote and spares him.
