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 short animated film uses puppet animation to criticize how American toy companies market militaristic toys. It argues that these toys promote aggressive political attitudes and imperialist manipulation, especially by reviving German militaristic traditions that the film says destroy humanistic values.
