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

Get a Horse! is a 2013 American animated comedy short film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and directed by Lauren MacMullan. Combining black-and-white hand-drawn animation and color computer animation, the short features the characters of the late 1920s Mickey Mouse cartoons. The film features archival recordings of Walt Disney, Billy Bletcher and Marcellite Garner in their respective posthumous roles as Mickey Mouse, Peg Leg Pete and Minnie Mouse. Russi Taylor and Will Ryan provide some of Minnie's and Pete's lines (Mickey's final line "Goodbye, goodbye, little feller!" is an uncredited line by Jimmy MacDonald sourced from an archival recording. Disney's voice is also heard as Minnie in one instance crying out "Help! Help! Help! Help!", though he is uncredited in that role.) It is the first original Mickey Mouse theatrical animated short since Runaway Brain in 1995, and the first appearance of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in a Disney animated production in 85 years, albeit for a split second cameo. The short was nominated for Best Animated Short Film at the 86th Academy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
