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

Los mundos de Yupi is a Spanish educational Children's television series that combines live-action, sketch comedy, animation, and puppetry. It was produced by Televisión Española (TVE) and was broadcast on TVE-1 between 18 April 1988 and 27 March 1991. The show replaced Barrio Sésamo and its format was identical to it. The live-action segments of the series star the aliens Yupi and Astrako. Yupi is a full-body puppet operated and voiced by Consuelo Molina; while Astrako is played by Alfonso Vallejo. These live action segments are interspersed with educational animations, and with sketches starring puppets. The series was followed by Los cuentos de Yupi, starring only the puppets.
