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

Carrossel (English: Carousel) is a Brazilian children's telenovela created by Íris Abravanel as a Brazilian remake of the Mexican telenovela Carrusel — itself inspired by the Argentinean telenovela Jacinta Pichimahuida, la Maestra que no se Olvida, written by Abel Santa Cruz. Originally broadcast on SBT from 21 May 2012 to 26 July 2013, it was particularly successful with children and led to several spin-offs including a cartoon series and television sitcom. Films based on the novela were released, on 23 July 2015, Carrossel: O Filme, and a sequel called Carrossel 2: O Sumiço de Maria Joaquina, on 7 July 2016. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
