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

Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures was a nature documentary video/television series that was run by Jack Hanna, Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium. The program ran from 1993 to 2008. It was shown daily and weekly in syndication worldwide on numerous stations and networks, especially in the United States. It was particularly popular in part because of Hanna's mainstream name recognition as an animal expert, but also because the show meets programming criteria for the U.S.'s federally mandated educational and informational requirements which all stations must follow. Because of this, the program is available for syndication up to five days per week, thus covering all but a half hour of the three-hour E/I mandate. Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures is owned and distributed by Hearst. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
