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

Little Einsteins is an American live-action/animated children's television series developed by Douglas Wood. Produced by The Baby Einstein Company and Curious Pictures, the series follows the adventures of a team of four young children, Leo, June, Quincy, and Annie. Together, they travel around the world in Rocket, an anthropomorphic red rocket ship, and undertake various missions, with the goal of solving a problem, helping someone, or finding something. Little Einsteins was developed after The Walt Disney Company acquired and purchased The Baby Einstein Company. Extensive research was done to ensure the series was appealing to preschoolers. Production of each episode was located at Manhattan, New York, with animation provided by Curious Pictures. Little Einsteins started with a direct-to-video film Our Huge Adventure; it was released on August 23, 2005. The series later premiered on October 9 on Disney Channel's programming block Playhouse Disney. It was concluded on December 22, 2009, after two seasons and 67 episodes. Critics opined that Little Einsteins introduced children to classical music and art without lowering levels of intelligence. Several reviews lauded the quality of music, animation, and visuals; others deemed the series educational, well-crafted, and valuable to children. Little Einsteins received high viewership and influenced the development of merchandise, video games, and others. It was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Children's Animated Program in 2008 and 2009. The album Disney's Little Einsteins Musical Missions also received a nomination for Best Spoken Word Album for Children at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
