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 Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is an American animated comedy horror television series created by Maxwell Atoms for Cartoon Network. Set in the fictional town of Endsville, the series follows the titular two children named Billy and Mandy who, after winning a limbo game to save Billy's pet hamster, gain the mighty Grim Reaper as their "best friend forever". Grim, who is reluctant to serve the two children, has access to supernatural items, spells, and other abilities that often lead Billy and Mandy to interact with otherworldly environments, characters, or situations. Billy & Mandy began as a segment on Grim & Evil, in which it and Evil Con Carne aired together. The series aired separately beginning June 13, 2003 and ended its run on November 9, 2007. There were also three television movies produced, including Billy & Mandy's Big Boogey Adventure, along with a special episode, Underfist: Halloween Bash. During its run, the series won two Emmy Awards and one Annie Award, with nominations for one Daytime Emmy Award, three Golden Reel Awards, and two other Annie Awards. Billy & Mandy has also been made into a video game as well as various licensed merchandise. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
