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

Rabbits is a 2002 surrealist horror web series created by David Lynch. The series depicts three humanoid rabbits, played by Scott Coffey, Laura Elena Harring and Naomi Watts, who inhabit a living room. Their disjointed, bizarre conversations are occasionally interrupted by a laugh track. Rabbits is presented with the tagline "In a nameless city deluged by a continuous rain... three rabbits live with a fearful mystery". Lynch himself referred to the series as a sitcom. Rabbits originally consisted of eight digitally-filmed episodes shown exclusively on Lynch's website. The films were made available on DVD in the 2008 Lime Green Box Set collection of Lynch's films, in a re-edited four-episode version that does not contain episode three. In 2020, select episodes of the series were uploaded to Lynch's official YouTube channel. The set and some footage of the Rabbits were reused in Lynch's 2006 feature film Inland Empire.
