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

Grim & Evil is an American animated television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. It consists of two segments which were eventually spun off into their own series, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy and Evil Con Carne. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy deals with two children named Billy and Mandy who bet that the Grim Reaper would lose to them at his own game of limbo in an effort to save Billy's pet hamster. Billy and Mandy win the bet, and Grim becomes their "best friend forever" as part of their deal. Evil Con Carne follows Hector Con Carne, a wealthy crime lord playboy whose body is destroyed in a tremendous explosion. His only surviving organs are his brain and stomach, which have been placed in jars and attached to a circus bear named Boskov. The show premiered on August 24, 2001 and ended its first 13-episode run on October 18, 2002. However, there was also another batch of 13 episodes made for the show, but Cartoon Network split both shows separately in 2003. The second (and final) season of this era was aired in the UK on October 20, 2003, followed by a 27th episode in the US as a combo special on October 22, 2004. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
