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.

How it feels

This is a parody short where Bugs Bunny mocks the celebration specials made for his 50th anniversary. The cartoon pokes fun at Hollywood and the character's own fame. It was originally made for theaters but sat unreleased for years.

What happens

(Blooper) Bunny is a Merrie Melodies animated short film directed by Greg Ford and Terry Lennon, with music by George Daugherty, produced in 1991 by Warner Bros. Animation. Featuring the voice talents of Jeff Bergman, Gordon Hunt, and Russell Calabrese, the short is a parody of some of the specials produced for Bugs Bunny's 50th anniversary the previous year. The short never received its intended theatrical release and was shelved for six years. It was finally given a television premiere on Cartoon Network on June 13, 1997. It is featured on the Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 as of 2003, and on the Bugs Bunny 80th Anniversary Collection as of 2020. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
