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

Bugged by a Bee is a 1969 Warner Bros.-Seven Arts Looney Tunes animated cartoon directed by Robert McKimson. It starred Cool Cat, and was the final cartoon from the original Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies series to bear the Looney Tunes name, and the last from that era to be widely released. One more cartoon, Injun Trouble, would follow Bugged by a Bee, but it was in the Merrie Melodies series. This cartoon was the last Looney Tunes short until 1987's The Duxorcist.
