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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Sítio do Pica-Pau Amarelo foi uma série de televisão brasileira produzida e exibida pela TV Cultura entre 6 de maio de 1964 e 17 de março de 1965, com alguma única temporada de 36 episódios. Baseada na série de livros homônima escrita por Monteiro Lobato, foi adaptada e dirigida por Lúcia Lambertini, que havia interpretado Emília na primeira versão. Em 1963, descontente com o fim do programa imposto pela Tupi após 12 temporadas, Lúcia levou o seriado para a TV Cultura, onde manteve a maior parte do elenco da anterior. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
