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

The Itsy Bitsy Spider is a 1992 American animated short film directed by Matthew O'Callaghan, and written by Michael O'Donoghue and Jerry Rapp. It stars Frank Welker as the titular spider, alongside Thora Birch, Jim Carrey, and Andrea Martin. Based on the eponymous rhyme, the short film was released along with the film Bebe's Kids. It was rated PG by the MPAA for sci-fi cartoon violence. It is a family-friendly version of The Terminator and RoboCop, and was the basis for the television series of the same name, which was aired on the USA Network. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
