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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens
The Ruff and Reddy Show (also known as Ruff and Reddy) is an American animated television series created by William Hanna and Joseph Barbera for NBC. It has been referred to as the earliest original color Saturday-morning cartoon, following Mighty Mouse Playhouse, which was made up of theatrical shorts. This was the first series made by H-B Enterprises, later known as Hanna-Barbera. The series follows the adventures of Ruff (a good-natured and brave but not overly bright dog) and Reddy (a smart and steadfast cat). It was presented by Screen Gems, the television arm of Columbia Pictures. It premiered in December 1957 and ran for 156 episodes until April 1960, comprising three seasons total. It was repeated on NBC Saturday mornings from 1962 to 1963. In the late 1950s, it was sponsored by Post Consumer Brands. Hanna and Barbera created The Ruff and Reddy Show for their newly founded animation studio, then named H-B Enterprises. The buddy film genre had previously been explored in their Tom and Jerry theatrical shorts, but unlike Tom and Jerry's signature rivalry, Ruff and Reddy have an amicable relationship. The series is notable as one of the earliest original animated television programs as well as a pioneer of the use of limited animation techniques for television, paving the way for Hanna-Barbera's future productions.
