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.

How it feels

A cartoon show that makes fun of a classic PBS program by showing classic Disney shorts. The host gives background information before and after each cartoon. Each episode has a theme like Goofy being a normal guy.

What happens

Mouseterpiece Theater is an American animated television show that ran on the Disney Channel. It premiered on the channel's launch date on April 18, 1983, and continued with reruns into the 1990s. The show is a parody of the PBS show Masterpiece Theatre, presenting Disney animated shorts instead of showing dramatic works. Like Masterpiece Theatre, it used a section of Jean-Joseph Mouret's Suite of Symphonies for brass, strings and timpani No. 1 as its theme music, but the Disney show used the third movement rather than the first. George Plimpton hosted and gave commentary and background information before and after each cartoon. Each show tended to have a theme; Goofy's emergence as the staid everyman character for example. It usually ran later in the evenings. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
