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.
How it feels
This stop motion claymation series retells classic fables from Aesop and La Fontaine. Forest animals act out stories where the weaker character outsmarts the stronger one. Every episode ends with a moral lesson.

What happens
Foxy Fables (known in Hebrew as משלים שועליים) is an animated television series produced by Israeli animator Rony Oren. All the characters were made from moulded plasticine modelling clay on metal armatures, and filmed with stop motion clay animation. The plot of the series was based on fables by Aesop, La Fontaine, and others that feature forest animals acting out the famous stories. The situations are always based on the less strong animal succeeding in outsmarting the stronger one who tries to let him down. Every episode would end with a valuable moral. The program was originally created in Israel. 13 episodes were produced. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
