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

Hi-Jinks is a hidden camera show that aired on Nick at Nite from August 2, 2005, to October 31, 2006. In the show, hosted by Leila Sbitani, parents are given a chance to play practical jokes on their children, in a similar fashion to Candid Camera. Taking a cue from Punk'd, each episode features a prank that is conducted with the assistance of a known celebrity. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
