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.

How it feels

Two lab mice, one genius and one simple-minded, try to take over the world each night. Their plans always fail in comedic ways.

What happens

Pinky and the Brain is an American animated sitcom created by Tom Ruegger for the Kids' WB programming block of The WB, as a collaboration with Steven Spielberg and his production company Amblin Entertainment, and Warner Bros. Television Animation. This was the first animated television series to ever be presented in Dolby Surround. The characters first appeared in 1993 as a recurring segment on the animated television series Animaniacs. It was later spun off as a series due to its popularity, with 65 episodes produced. The characters later appeared in the sequel series Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain, and later returned to their roots as an Animaniacs segment in the 2020 revival of that series.
