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

Wimzie's House is a Canadian children's television series produced in Montreal which ran in the French language as La Maison de Ouimzie on Télévision de Radio-Canada in the morning and Radio-Québec in late afternoons beginning September 4, 1995, and in English on CBC Television in Canada beginning October 21, 1996 and in the United States on PBS from September 1, 1997 until August 31, 2001. The show was produced by Quebec-based studio CINAR Films (then Cookie Jar Entertainment, now WildBrain), with PBS airings presented by Maryland Public Television from 1997 until 2001. The show's puppetry is in the style of Sesame Street (another show aired on same channel), which led to some legal troubles with The Jim Henson Company in 2000 (even though they had some collaboration for some certain children's TV shows e.g., Hi Opie!, Dog City (Corus' animation studio), Fraggle Rock, The Hoobs, etc., as well as the same with its production partner, CTW (now as Sesame Workshop), best known for Sesame Park, the Canadian adaptation of Sesame Street).
