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

What happens
Trash-O-Madness is a 1992 short film and the pilot episode for the American animated series Rocko's Modern Life. It was directed and written by series creator Joe Murray, with Carlos Alazraqui providing all voices. A new version of the pilot, that was extended for the purposes of including it as a regular episode, was produced and released as part of the first season. It also features an extended end credit sequence to accommodate the names of production crew behind "Trash-O-Madness". On February 7, 2012, the original pilot version found its way onto Shout! Factory's season 2 DVD as a special feature. In Rocko's Modern Life: Spunky's Dangerous Day, the second level is named after this episode. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
