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

25 Ways to Quit Smoking è un cortometraggio d'animazione di 5 minuti, realizzato da Bill Plympton nel 1989. Il noto animatore ha lo scopo, in questo cartone, di aiutare a togliere il vizio del fumo mediante 25 illustrazioni che trasformano il desiderio ardente di nicotina in effettivi, semplici e spesso anche azzardati motivi e conseguenze dovute all'impellente necessità.
