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

Mr. Bean: The Animated Series is a British animated sitcom produced by Tiger Aspect Productions in association with Richard Purdum Productions and Varga Holdings (for the first series). Based on the live-action television sitcom of the same title created by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis, the sitcom centres on Mr. Bean (Atkinson), Teddy, Irma Gobb (Matilda Ziegler), the Reliant Regal's mysterious driver, Mrs. Julia Wicket (Sally Grace) and her cat Scrapper. In February 2001, the series was officially announced, with it premiering shortly afterwards. Debuting on 2 March 2002 and originally ending on 1 November 2004, the first series, featuring 52 episodes in total, was originally broadcast on ITV in a Saturday night slot. In October 2004, the sitcom left the Saturday night slot and was instead broadcast daily on CITV due to the show's popularity with younger audiences. In July 2013, Studio-43 were brought to the light of Tiger-Aspect for the idea of a new animated series so that they could animate the series, but it wasn't until January 2014 that CITV publicly announced that a new animated series would be made, with Rowan Atkinson once again providing his voice for the role. 52 new episodes began airing on CITV. In 2018, Tiger Aspect served up the third series, which began airing on CITV in the UK and across international markets on Boomerang and other Turner Kids channels in select markets on 9 April 2019. In 2024, it was announced that the series had been commissioned for a fourth run, produced by Tiger Aspect Kids & Family, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and ITVX, through deals agreed by Banijay Rights. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
