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

X-Men: Evolution is an American animated television series based on the superhero comic book series X-Men published by Marvel Comics. Taking inspiration from the early issues of the original comics, the series portrays the X-Men as teenagers rather than adults, following their struggle to control their mutant powers as they face various threats and backlash. Produced in the United States, the voice recording was done in Canada; and the show was animated in Japan and South Korea. The series was distributed by Warner Bros. Television Distribution during its original run despite owning Marvel's rival, DC Comics and is currently distributed by Disney Platform Distribution in the United States. X-Men: Evolution ran for a total of four seasons, comprising 52 episodes in total, from November 4, 2000, to October 25, 2003, on Kids' WB, making it the third longest-running Marvel Comics animated series at the time, behind Fox Kids' X-Men: The Animated Series and Spider-Man. Seasons one through three aired on Cartoon Network from August 31, 2001, to May 27, 2003. The series later aired on Disney XD from June 15, 2009, to December 30, 2011 and was later featured on Disney+. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
