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

Creative Power Entertaining Co., Ltd. (CPE) is a Chinese animation company. Its former headquarters was in the Wuzi Block (物资大厦; 物資大廈; Wùzī Dàshà) in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. Currently, its headquarters is located in the Creative Park at 20 Taihegang Road in the Yuexiu District of Guangzhou. In 2004 CPE released its first cartoon series: "Happy Family". Since 2005 until now, it has produced over 2,500 episodes of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", a popular Chinese animated series. CPE's main agent was the Walt Disney Company, and in 2010 it had over 300 agents to sell its products. The company's profit margins "broke even" when Pleasant Goat became a success. In October 2010 the CPE entered in a licensing agreement with Buena Vista to air CPE cartoons in 52 countries and territories in the Asia Pacific region. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
