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

The Big Help is a community outreach program created by Nickelodeon in 1994. The program featured children who volunteered in their community and reached out to let Nickelodeon know what they were doing. The network contacted some of them to create commercials for Nickelodeon about various volunteer opportunities to inspire other children to be big helpers in their communities. There was also an event in which children from around the country would call in to try to get one of their local parks refurbished by Nickelodeon, the ten with the most votes would get refurbished by Nickelodeon in an eight-hour special. In 2001, following the September 11 attacks, Nickelodeon aired unscheduled specials under The Big Help branding for relief. In 2008, a sequel emerged called The Big Green Help, which was created to promote messages of environmentalism. The name The Big Help was restored in 2010. The program was silently discontinued in the mid-2010s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
