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 Scooby & Scrappy-Doo/Puppy Hour is a 60-minute Saturday morning animated package show co-produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions and Ruby-Spears Enterprises and broadcast on ABC from September 25, 1982 to December 18, 1982. The show contained segments of Scooby-Doo & Scrappy-Doo (Hanna-Barbera), Scrappy & Yabba-Doo (Hanna-Barbera) and The Puppy's New Adventures (Ruby-Spears). The first half-hour consisted of two 7-minute Scooby & Scrappy-Doo shorts followed by a 7-minute Scrappy & Yabba-Doo short followed by an episode of The Puppy's New Adventures in the second half-hour. The Scooby-Doo/Scrappy-related shorts were written, storyboarded and voiced at Hanna-Barbera, but animated and edited by Ruby-Spears. On January 8, 1983, the Scooby & Scrappy-Doo segments were replaced by reruns of previously run network episodes of Scooby-Doo from various incarnations; as a result, the program was re-titled The Scooby-Doo/Puppy Hour and continued under this format until September 3, 1983.
