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

Each short episode features household objects and food with googly eyes getting into quick, funny situations. The sketches are very short and aim to make young children laugh.

What happens

OOglies is a stop-motion animated children's television series produced by BBC Scotland for CBBC, and distributed worldwide by Classic Media. The show involves short sketches that play for 30 seconds to a minute starring household items and food, virtually all of which have googly eyes stuck on, hence the show's title. The show first aired on 10 August 2009, on both CBBC and BBC HD and is directed to children six to 11 years old. The commission was for two series of 13 shows, each 15 minutes long. The shows were produced in a block over five months in Glasgow. Voices are provided by Tim Dann, Peter Dickson, and Shelley Longworth. The series was created and written by Nick Hopkin, Tim Dann, and Austin Low. The show returned in 2015 as OOglies Funsize. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
