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

Spuk unterm Riesenrad ist eine siebenteilige Kinderserie von C. U. Wiesner und Günter Meyer, die ab Neujahr 1979 im DDR-Fernsehen lief und nach großem Erfolg zu einem zweiteiligen Kinofilm (Teil 1: Die Ausreißer, Teil 2: Eine Burg in Gefahr) zusammengeschnitten wurde. Dieser lief regelmäßig in DDR-Kinos im Kinderprogramm und wurde auch in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland ausgestrahlt. Eine gleichnamige Neuverfilmung kam am 22. Februar 2024 in die Kinos.
