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

SpongeBob keeps ringing the order up bell at the Krusty Krab, annoying Squidward more and more. The short has no dialogue, just silly sounds and silly action.

What happens

Order Up is a 2025 American animated short film based on the SpongeBob SquarePants television series, created by Stephen Hillenburg. Co-written by Sean Charmatz and Paul Tibbitt, the film features no dialogue but utilizes vocal sound effects and centers on SpongeBob (Tom Kenny) as he overuses the Krusty Krab's order up bell, sending his irritable co-worker Squidward (Rodger Bumpass) into a fit of rage. The short film was produced by Nickelodeon Animation Studio in 2011–12 but remained unreleased for several years. Order Up premiered at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 10, 2025, and was released in theaters on July 18, 2025, along with screenings of Smurfs. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
