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 Fairly OddParents is an American animated television series created by Butch Hartman for Nickelodeon. It follows the adventures of Timmy Turner, a 10-year old boy with two fairy godparents named Cosmo and Wanda who grant him wishes to solve his everyday problems. The Fairly OddParents originated from shorts aired on Nickelodeon's animation showcase Oh Yeah! Cartoons. Due to their popularity, the shorts were greenlit to become a half-hour series, which premiered on March 30, 2001 and originally ended on November 25, 2006. The show was later revived, airing from February 18, 2008 to September 16, 2016, with production quietly ending that same year. Its remaining episodes aired on Nickelodeon's spinoff network Nicktoons from January 18, 2017 through July 26, 2017. Hartman left Nickelodeon seven months later in February 2018. The show totals up to 172 episodes across ten seasons. The Fairly OddParents is Nickelodeon's second longest-running animated series, behind SpongeBob SquarePants (1999–present). Additionally, it has gained a total of 11 awards during its 16-year run and spawned a media franchise. In 2021, it was announced that a spin-off live-action series was in development for Paramount+. The series The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder was released in 2022. A sequel series, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, was released in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
