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

Martian Through Georgia is a Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon, directed by Chuck Jones, Maurice Noble (credited as a co-director), and Abe Levitow, released on December 29, 1962. The title is a play on the American Civil War song "Marching Through Georgia", as well as a punny allusion to the character, setting, and basic plot premise of the short. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
