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

Matanglawin (Baybayin: ᜋᜆᜅ᜔ᜎᜏᜒᜈ᜔, lit. 'hawkeye') is a Philippine television informative show broadcast by ABS-CBN. Hosted by Kim Atienza, it aired from March 24, 2008, to May 3, 2020, on the network's Sunday morning timeslot. The show aired its final broadcast on May 3, 2020, due to the ABS-CBN shutdown because of the cease and desist order by the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC), following the expiration of the network's 25-year franchise granted in 1995, the denial of the franchise and the retrenchment of employees. Re-runs of the show aired on Knowledge Channel via Extracurricular subject, and on A2Z every weekends under Kidz Weekend morning block. The show eventually did not go back on-air as Atienza transferred to GMA Network on October 4, 2021. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
