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
Bugs Bunny is up against Wile E. Coyote in a series of cartoon chases and traps. The coyote tries to catch the rabbit with various gadgets but keeps failing in comical ways.

What happens
Compressed Hare, stylized as COMpressed Hare, is a 1961 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Chuck Jones and Maurice Noble. The short was released on July 29, 1961, and stars Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote. This is the final first-run Golden Age short in which Wile E. Coyote speaks, although he speaks again in the Adventures of the Road Runner featurette a year later. The title is a play on compressed air. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
