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

Pegar ou Largar ("to catch or to release" in Portuguese) is the Portuguese version of Deal or No Deal. It is produced by SIC and hosted by Rui Unas. It premiered on January 28, 2006. The set and format is similar to Miljoenenjacht (with 150 contestants compete in each episode), but the 26 cases are held by models, like the American version. The case values range from €0.01 to €300,000. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
