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

Curious Buddies is a series of direct-to-video specials narrated by Cathy Richardson. It was produced by Spiffy Pictures for Nick Jr. The series was released across seven videos from August 31, 2004, to April 12, 2005. The series is aimed at babies and toddlers. It was made to compete with the Baby Einstein line. Every video was written with the supervision of developmental psychologist Rachel Barr, and the DVDs feature a voiceover from Barr. The main characters are five animal puppets that were built by Rollie Krewson (known for her work with The Muppets). One of the DVDs, "Helping at Home", was the recipient of a Spring 2005 Parents' Choice Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
