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

Gay Purr-ee is a 1962 American animated musical film produced by United Productions of America and released by Warner Bros. Pictures. It features the voice of Judy Garland as Mewsette, a cat living in the French countryside wanting to go to Paris, and Robert Goulet as her love interest Jaune Tom. It was Garland's only animated-film role and Goulet's first feature film. It was the first animated feature film to be theatrically released by Warner Bros., and the second and final animated film by UPA. The film received positive reviews but was a box office failure.
