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

Rambo: The Force of Freedom (also known simply as Rambo) is a 1986 American animated series based on the character of John Rambo from David Morrell's book First Blood and the subsequent films First Blood (1982) and Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985). Though both the book and films were targeted strictly towards adults and featured extreme violence, Rambo: The Force of Freedom was targeted towards children. It was the first animated series to be adapted from an R-rated film series. This series was adapted for television by story editor/head writer Michael Chain and also spawned a toy line. The series ran for 65 episodes and was produced by Ruby-Spears Enterprises. It debuted on April 14, 1986, as a five-part miniseries and was renewed in September as a daily cartoon. While the series set in a separate universe which ignores the events of Rambo III (1988). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
