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

Mexican Boarders is a 1962 Warner Bros. Looney Tunes cartoon short directed by Friz Freleng. The short was released on May 12, 1962, and stars Speedy Gonzales and Sylvester. Voice actors are Mel Blanc (doing the voices of Sylvester and Speedy), and Tom Holland as the narrator. The title is a portmanteau of "Mexican borders" (referring to either the international border or the border wall) and boarders, as well as a punny allusion to the basic plot premise. This is the second Speedy Gonzales short to feature Slowpoke Rodriguez, who made his debut in Mexicali Shmoes (in his first appearance, he and Speedy's relationship was not revealed).
