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

Meatballs & Spaghetti is an American animated television series that aired on CBS on Saturday morning from September 18, 1982, to March 5, 1983. The show was produced by InterMedia Entertainment Company and Marvel Productions and aired on Starcade, CBS's Saturday morning cartoon programming block. It was one of the last Saturday morning cartoon series to be fitted with a laugh track. The show was not well received, with a Variety review saying, "No try at music here, or even much comedy either. It's without any socially redeeming value." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
