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

Little Bear, also known as Maurice Sendak's Little Bear, is a Canadian children's animated television series co-produced by Nelvana Limited, produced in association with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It is based on the children's book series of the same name written by Else Holmelund Minarik and illustrated by Maurice Sendak. In the United States, the series premiered on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. block on November 6, 1995, and the final episode aired on June 1, 2001. The series also aired on CBS on Saturday mornings from September 16, 2000, until September 15, 2001. Every 22-minute long episode of the series is divided into three seven-minute segments. Most segments are new stories, but some are retellings of Else Holmelund Minarik's books (both she and Sendak were "closely involved in the creative process" when developing the new stories). Production began in late 1994. A direct-to-video feature film titled The Little Bear Movie was released in 2001. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
