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

Northwood is a Canadian teen drama television series created by Nick Orchard. It centres on the lives of teenagers living in the eponymous fictional North Vancouver suburb. It aired on CBC from March 4, 1991 to January 15, 1994. Most initial reviews of the series were mixed, with criticism given to its excessive melodrama, lack of comic relief, and production values, though praise was given to the acting performances. Having replaced Degrassi High in its time slot, Northwood also drew multiple comparisons to the outgoing show. As it progressed, reviews became more positive. A soundtrack album, Let It Be Me, was released in 1992. It is composed of adult contemporary covers by cast members of the show. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
