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

The Tom and Jerry Comedy Show (also known as The New Adventures of Tom and Jerry) is an American comedy animated television series produced by Filmation in association with MGM Television featuring the popular cartoon duo Tom and Jerry. The show first aired on September 6, 1980 on CBS and continued until December 13 the same year. Its episodes were eventually added to syndicated Tom and Jerry packages in 1983. The series was broadcast on Pop in the United Kingdom in October 2013. Episodes of the show also previously appeared in reruns on Cartoon Network and (and as of 2026), individual segments of the show still occasionally air on Boomerang, as part of an overall nightly block of Tom & Jerry cartoons.
