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

Pin-Pon is a French Canadian children's educational television series that aired on Canal Famille from 1996 to 1998. It starred Yves Soutière and Thomas Graton as Pin-Pin and Pon-Pon, two firefighters who lead children in various songs, stories, and games in their fire station. The supporting cast included Philippe Lambert as Pin-Pin's brother Pouet-Pouet. The series ended production in 1998 but aired in reruns until 2001 and was subsequently also rebroadcast on Télé-Québec. In 2022, Soutière and Graton reunited to create a TikTok video in character as Pin-Pin and Pon-Pon, to promote the book Génération Canal Famille, a history of the channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
