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.

What happens

Strong Kids, Safe Kids is a 1984 direct-to-video PSA film, hosted by Henry Winkler, that teaches basic skills to parents and children to help prevent sexual abuse and other dangerous situations. The video features guest appearances from Fonzie, Sol Gordon, Kee MacFarlane, Chris Wallace, John Ritter, Mariette Hartley, and a cast of Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters, including Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, the Smurfs and Pac-Man. The video was produced in 1983-1984 by Winkler's company Fair Dinkum Productions in association with Paramount Home Video (who also distributed the video), out of concern about the safety of his children. It was available at high schools, music libraries and civic functions, and was sold at children's bookstores and video outlets for $29.95. It sold 75,000 cassettes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
