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 DVD compiles animated shorts from various independent artists. The cartoons are often strange and provocative, with some having been deemed too shocking for mainstream animation festivals.

What happens

God Hates Cartoons is a DVD compilation of animated shorts by a variety of artists produced by Bright Red Rocket. The cartoons include works by Ivan Brunetti, Sam Henderson, Walt Holcombe, Kaz, Tim Maloney, Lance Myers, Tony Millionaire, Mark Newgarden and Jim Woodring. One of the cartoons, Diaper Dyke was accepted by Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation, but after one screening in Chicago, they found it even too sick and twisted for them and promptly removed it from their program. Four of Tony Millionaire's popular Maakies cartoons (one of which aired on Saturday Night Live) are also included in the DVD. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
