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

Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree is a 1966 American animated musical fantasy short film based on the first two chapters of the 1926 book of the same name by A. A. Milne, while the troubles in reattaching Eeyore's tail come from chapter 4 of the same book and Pooh's exercises in front of the mirror come from the poem #38 (Teddy Bear, first appearance of the character) in When We Were Very Young. The film was produced by Walt Disney Productions, and released by Buena Vista Distribution on February 4, 1966, as a double feature with The Ugly Dachshund. It was the last short film produced by Walt Disney, who later died on December 15, 1966, ten months after its release. Its songs were written by the Sherman Brothers (Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman) and the score was composed and conducted by Buddy Baker. Directed by Wolfgang Reitherman, it was the first animated featurette in the Winnie the Pooh film series, and it was later added as a segment to the 1977 film The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. It featured the voices of Sterling Holloway as Winnie the Pooh, Junius Matthews as Rabbit, Bruce Reitherman as Christopher Robin, Clint Howard as Roo, Barbara Luddy as Kanga, Ralph Wright as Eeyore, Howard Morris as Gopher, and Hal Smith as Owl. It was narrated by Sebastian Cabot. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
