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

Wile E. Coyote uses elaborate traps to try to catch the Road Runner. The Road Runner always escapes easily, leaving the coyote to suffer the consequences of his own failed plans.

What happens

Run, Run, Sweet Road Runner is a 1965 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Rudy Larriva. The short was released on August 21, 1965, and stars Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner. It was the first of eleven Road Runner cartoons subcontracted to Format Productions, and one of only three along with To Beep or Not to Beep and Rushing Roulette which composer William Lava was able to properly score (the subsequent cartoons had to use a set of stock musical cues due to extremely low budgets).
