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

Back to School with Franklin is a 2003 Canadian animated comedy film directed by Arna Selznick. The film, as the third Franklin film, was released direct-to-video on August 19, 2003 and was later released on DVD. The film is 46 minutes long, making it the shortest Franklin film. Cole Caplan takes over for Noah Reid as the voice of Franklin the Turtle, ushering in the sixth season of the program, which would not make its way to the United States until September 5, 2004 on Noggin. He is joined by Bryn McAuley, who has voiced his sister Harriet since the first film and Carolyn Scott as the voice of a replacement teacher Miss Koala. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
