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

Barrio Sésamo ('Sesame Neighborhood') is the Spanish co-production of the American children's television series Sesame Street, produced by Televisión Española (TVE) and Children's Television Workshop (CTW) from 1979 to 2000. All characters adopted Spanish names while for the title of the series a more appropriate Spanish name was chosen: barrio (neighborhood) instead of street (calle). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
