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

Fireman Sam (Welsh: Sam Tân) is a British animated children's television series about a fireman named Sam Jones, his fellow firefighters, and other residents of the fictional Welsh village of Pontypandy (a portmanteau of two real towns, Pontypridd and Tonypandy). It was broadcast for the first time in November 1987 on Welsh TV channel S4C and is shown in more than 155 countries across the world. Originally animated using stop motion (series 1-5), the series has been computer animated since 2008 (series 6-16). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
