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

Go Go Gophers is an American animated series set in the Old West that appears as a 4–5-minute-long segment within 48 episodes of the Underdog TV series and Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales. All of the cartoon's segments were produced sometime between 1962 and 1963 but aired as part of Underdog in October 1964. It was then spun off as a separate series on CBS that aired from September 14, 1968, to September 6, 1969; however, the episodes were just repeats of the 48 segments that aired on the Underdog series. The segments also aired alongside The Space Kidettes on Saturday morning television in 1967. The show was produced by Total TeleVision Productions. The show was unusual for Old West-themed series, in that the Native American characters always beat the cowboys. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
