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.

How it feels

A cat and a mouse get into a series of chaotic fights. The mouse outsmarts the cat at every turn. It is a short comedy with plenty of physical gags.

What happens

The Brothers Carry-Mouse-Off is a 1965 Tom and Jerry short (though the year of copyright is 1966) produced by Chuck Jones, and the only one directed by Jim Pabian. Jones and Pabian wrote the story and Eugene Poddany scored music, while Maurice Noble did the layouts and Robert Gribbroek did the backgrounds. The title's a parody of Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
