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

Stanley is an American animated children's television series that aired on Playhouse Disney based on the Strange Relations series of children's books created by "Griff" (as indicated on the cover of the original book), also known as Andrew Griffin. It was produced by Cartoon Pizza and was developed for television by Jim Jinkins (the creator of Doug, PB&J Otter, Allegra's Window, JoJo's Circus, and Pinky Dinky Doo) and David Campbell. The series follows Stanley, voiced by Jessica D. Stone, and teaches a wide variety of issues young children face, including change, growth, rules, and dealing with others. Each episode centers on an animal that deals with or helps explain the issue Stanley is grappling with. Bahamian Junkanoo and reggae fusion group Baha Men, who are best known for their hit song "Who Let the Dogs Out", sang the series' main theme song, "My Man Stanley". The series was nominated for Outstanding Achievement in an Animated Television Production Produced for Children by the Annie Awards in 2003. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
