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

Big House Blues is a 1990 American animated comedy short film produced by Spümcø. Originally screened at a film festival on December 21, 1990, it was succeeded by The Ren & Stimpy Show on the network, which serves as a pilot episode. A censored version was later aired on Nickelodeon for its first season, while the full, uncensored version would air on Spike TV (now known as Paramount Network) in 2003 as part of the "first" episode of Adult Party Cartoon.
