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

Daffy Duck gets chased by a mob of monsters in this short cartoon. It is a spoof of horror movies but stays silly and fun instead of scary.

What happens

The Night of the Living Duck is a six-minute 1988 Merrie Melodies cartoon starring Daffy Duck, directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon. It was released to theatres as a part of Daffy Duck's Quackbusters on September 24, 1988 and precedes the film in all subsequent releases, including in TV broadcasts and home media. The title is a pun on Night of the Living Dead, although the cartoon has nothing to do with said film's theme of a zombie apocalypse. This short was also one of Mel Blanc's final performances, as it was released less than a year before his death. The short was shown on the opening day of the 1988 New York Film Festival before Pedro Almodovar's Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
