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

Space Stars is a 60-minute American Saturday morning animated program block produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and broadcast on NBC from September 12, 1981, to January 8, 1982. Space Stars was narrated by Keene Curtis and featured five cartoon segments each week: Space Ghost (2 segments, 6 minutes each) The Herculoids (1 segment, 10 minutes) Teen Force (1 segment, 7 minutes) Astro and the Space Mutts (1 segment, 7 minutes) Space Stars Finale (1 segment, 7 minutes) The cartoons would occasionally cross over into one another. Space Ghost and The Herculoids both had their own respective series in the 1960s. Teen Force and Astro and the Space Mutts were both new segments, although the Astro character was the family dog from The Jetsons. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
