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.

The short was released on March 31, 1962, and stars Daffy Duck. The title is a pun on the phrase "crocodile tears". In the film, Daffy has to take care of the egg in his nest. He loses the egg, and unwittingly replaces it with the egg of an alligator. Resulting in conflict with the father of that egg. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
