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.

How it feels

This is an animated reboot of a classic cartoon. A well-meaning but clumsy jungle man has silly adventures. The show keeps the same goofy spirit as the original.

What happens

George of the Jungle is an animated television series. It is a reboot of Jay Ward and Bill Scott's 1967 American animated television series of the same name, which in turn is a parody of the fictional character Tarzan, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Using Flash animation, it is produced in Canada, airing there on Teletoon. The remake mostly stays true to the original production, with a few key differences existing between the two. Episodes of the show typically consist of two 11-minute segments. This is unlike the original cartoon, which featured other stories such as Tom Slick and Super Chicken. The original series aired from June 29, 2007, until January 11, 2008 on Teletoon; Cartoon Network in the United States began airing it on January 11, 2008. In Latin America, the series arrived to Disney Channel on March 3, 2008; reruns moved to the local Jetix feed in October. The series returned 9 years after the original first season with a second season on September 10, 2016. The revival season concluded on February 18, 2017. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
