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 Monkey King: Quest for the Sutra (Chinese: 齊天大聖孫悟空) is a 2002 Hong Kong TV series based on the 16th-century novel Journey to the West. It is also a remake of the 1996 TVB version. This is the second Monkey King that is portrayed by Dicky Cheung, the other one being Journey to the West (1996). It is also the first Monkey King series that is not titled Journey to the West. It was only broadcast on TVB, even though it is a Hong Kong-Taiwanese co-production. This series consists of 40 episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
