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

The Brothers Flub is a children's animated television series created by David Burke and Laslo Nosek for Nickelodeon. It was produced by Sunbow Entertainment and Sony Wonder Television in co-production with Ravensburger Film + TV and Videal. For only one year, Nickelodeon billed the show as its original programming despite it not being a Nicktoon. The show's title characters are a pair of alien brothers named Guapo and Fraz, both of whom work as couriers, as they travel throughout their universe to deliver packages to a different planet in each episode of the series. It ran from January 16, 1999, until January 8, 2000 and was widely panned by critics, who compared it unfavorably to actual Nicktoons. It has since been disowned by Nickelodeon.
