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 Koala Brothers is a British stop-motion animated children's television series, created by David Johnson. It features the adventures of two twin koala brothers named Frank and Buster, who pilot an aeroplane to help their friends in a sleepy town in the Australian outback. The series was narrated by Jonathan Coleman. 78 episodes were produced over three seasons, alongside one Christmas special. Notably, while the series sometimes features disagreements and displays of poor behaviour, it avoids presenting any characters as purely villainous or unlikable. Instead, it emphasises the importance of kindness and friendship. The series originally premiered on CBeebies on 1 September 2003 to October 31, 2007 and is particularly targeted at children from ages 2 to 6 years. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
