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

Merlin ist eine deutsche Fernsehserie, die 1979 im Auftrag des ZDF produziert wurde. Die Regie führte Armin Dahlen und das Drehbuch schrieb Justus Pfaue. Als Erzähler fungierte Manfred Schott. Die Serie richtete sich an Kinder und Jugendliche. Die Akteure entspringen der frühenglischen Mythologie (Historia regum Britanniae, Artusepik), wobei die Handlung moderne Hinzuerfindungen integriert. Die Schilderung der Zeitumstände (Britannien in nach-römischer Zeit) orientiert sich in etwa am historischen Forschungsstand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
