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

KaBlam! (stylized as KaBLaM!) is an American animated sketch comedy anthology television series that ran on Nickelodeon from October 11, 1996 to May 27, 2000, with repeats until November 2, 2001. The series was created by Robert (Bob) Mittenthal, Will McRobb, and Chris Viscardi. The show was developed to showcase alternative forms of animation that were more common in indie films and commercials. Each episode featured a collection of short films in different styles of animation, bridged by the characters Henry and June, who introduce the short animations. The show first premiered on Friday nights as part of "More Nick", a block that extended Nickelodeon programming to 8:30pm on prime time. The show was a critical and commercial success. The show was last aired as a part of Nickelodeon's 'The Splat' programming block on October 8 and 9, 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
