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

Pole Position is an animated action and science fiction series produced by DIC Enterprises and MK Company. The series aired for one season in 1984 and appeared in re-runs for a few years thereafter. The series is loosely based on the arcade racing video game series Pole Position by Namco, though the game and the television program have very little in common beyond the basic concept of auto racing and two cars from the game being featured in the series.
