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 starts a ghostbusting business with Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters. The film is a compilation of classic cartoon shorts with new animation linking them together.

What happens
Daffy Duck's Quackbusters is a 1988 animated compilation film featuring classic Warner Bros. Cartoons shorts and animated bridging sequences, starring Daffy Duck. The film was released to theaters by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 24, 1988. It was the final theatrical production in which Mel Blanc provided the voices of the various Looney Tunes characters before his death in July 1989. Unlike previous compilation films, Quackbusters uses pre-existing music from older Looney Tunes shorts composed by Carl Stalling, Milt Franklyn and William Lava for both the new animation and classic footage. It was also one of the two compilation films of classic Warner Bros. cartoon shorts not composed by Robert J. Walsh (the other being 1979's The Bugs Bunny/Road Runner Movie, which was composed by Dean Elliott). Similar to The Looney Looney Looney Bugs Bunny Movie (1981), which was preceded with the Oscar-winning Knighty Knight Bugs (1958), Quackbusters is preceded with a short The Night of the Living Duck (1988), which is exclusive to the film. It also includes the other exclusive short The Duxorcist (1987), which was previously released theatrically with Nuts the previous year, as part of the film's plot, and was shown as an individual short years later. This film is inspired by Ghostbusters (1984). Most of the stories included in the compilation have a comedy horror theme, with ones involving spirit possession, exorcism, Transylvanian vampires, magic words, and Yetis. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
