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

Speed Racer: The Next Generation is an American animated television series based on the classic Japanese Speed Racer franchise, in which the internal events take place decades after those in the 1967 Japanese series. It is the fourth television adaptation of the franchise, and is executive produced by Lionsgate Entertainment, Larry Schwarz, Ken Katsumoto, and Speed Racer Enterprises. The first season was produced by Animation Collective, while the Flash character animation for it was handled by the now-defunct Collideascope Studios as their last project. For the second season both Telegael and Kickstart Productions produced it, while the flash character animation was handled by Toonz Entertainment. It aired on Nicktoons from May 2, 2008, to August 25, 2013. This series was partly made to promote the live-action film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
