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

Huntik: Secrets & Seekers is an Italian animated television series created by Iginio Straffi, the creator of Winx Club. It was produced by Rainbow S.p.A. and Rai Fiction with the co-production of Big Bocca Productions for the first season. The series is about four adventurers who are part of a group called the Huntik Foundation, led by their top operative Dante Vale. Each episode takes place in a different historical city and features magical elements inspired by European mythology. The characters are designed in a style that combines Japanese anime with Western animation. Iginio Straffi conceived Huntik in 2006. Its visual elements, artwork, and music were produced in Italy, while animation and some scriptwriting were done abroad. The first season premiered on Rai Due in Italy on 12 January 2009, and set a record number of viewers when it was rerun on Rai Gulp. Production on a second season began shortly after the premiere of the first. The second season debuted in Italy in 2011. That same year, Viacom gained 30% ownership of the Rainbow studio, and Huntik's second season premiered on Viacom's Nickelodeon networks internationally. Season two premiered on Nicktoons on April 21, 2013, in the United States. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
