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

The New Adventures of He-Man is an animated series which ran in syndication starting in the second half of 1990. A pre-syndication early clearance of the series began in December, 1989 on select market independent stations, while Mattel released the toy line He-Man, an update of their Masters of the Universe line. The cartoon series was intended to be a continuation of Filmation's He-Man and the Masters of the Universe series, but Filmation's parent Westinghouse Broadcasting had shut down the studio a year earlier. Instead, while existing in the same continuity, a new central story was created for this series. It is also the first He-Man series to feature a Canadian voice cast. This would mark the final entry in the original Masters of the Universe continuity, as the franchise as a whole would be rebooted twelve years later with He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The 2021 series Masters of the Universe: Revelation follows continuity of the original series but branches off into its own continuity from before the events of this series.
