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
Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness is an American animated comedy television series co-produced by DreamWorks Animation Television and Nickelodeon Animation Studio, based on DreamWorks Animation's Kung Fu Panda franchise. It serves as a bridge between the first and second films, following Po's training to become a successful Dragon Warrior, whereas the second film is, according to the series' developer Peter Hastings, "not unlike a very long, super-deluxe 3-D version of one of our episodes." The series was originally set to air on Nickelodeon in 2010, but it was pushed back to 2011 instead. The series premiered with a special preview on September 19, 2011, and began airing regularly on November 7. Broadcast in the United States ceased partway through the third and final season, though all remaining had aired in countries such as Germany (through Nicktoons) and Canada (through YTV). In 2016, Nicktoons in the United States began running commercials announcing the premiere of new episodes; it was subsequently revealed that five of the ten unaired episodes would air from February 15 to 19. The final episode aired on June 29, 2016. Besides Lucy Liu and James Hong, who reprise their roles as Viper and Mr. Ping from the film the cast features new voice actors for the characters of Po (Mick Wingert), Master Shifu (Fred Tatasciore), Tigress (Kari Wahlgren), Crane (Amir Talai), Monkey (James Sie), and Mantis (Max Koch). Netflix commissioned another series, Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight, which premiered in 2022. Peter Hastings, the developer of Legends of Awesomeness, returned as an executive producer. Unlike Legends of Awesomeness however, Jack Black reprised his role as Po from the films. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
