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

Doc McStuffins is an animated children's television series created by Chris Nee and produced by Brown Bag Films. It aired for five seasons on Disney Junior from March 23, 2012 to April 18, 2020. The series centers on a girl who fixes toys, with help from her four toy friends. The series features songs written and composed by Michelle Lewis, Kay Hanley, and Dan Petty. The series received positive reviews due to the series' concept and the main character, as well as its portrayal of African Americans (Nee stated in 2013 that Doc is African American, as proposed by Disney during her initial pitch, Nee initially only knowing she wanted a girl doctor) in a Disney series. Nee conceived the series as Cheers for preschoolers. On November 16, 2016, Disney Junior renewed the series for a fifth season. On April 4, 2018, Lara Jill Miller, the voice of Lambie, stated that the series finale had been recorded. The series ended on April 18, 2020, ending the series' original run after five seasons, and there are no plans for the show to have a sixth season. Reruns continued to air through June 26, 2024. The show is available on DisneyNOW and Disney+. 136 episodes (247 segments) were originally produced; The Doc is 10, a special made to celebrate the series' 10th anniversary, debuted on August 26, 2022.
