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

The show follows eight colorful fuzzy creatures who get into goofy situations without any real dialogue. They communicate through sounds and gibberish so the comedy works for audiences anywhere.

What happens

Oddbods (also known as The Oddbods Show) is a Singaporean-British computer-animated comedy television series produced by One Animation. The series centers on eight characters—Bubbles, Pogo, Newt, Jeff, Slick, Fuse, Zee and as of season 4, Lulu—wearing furry suits of different colors. The characters make sounds but there is no dialogue, making the series easily translatable and international. The characters also do not speak English or any human languages coherently, and the characters only speak gibberish. The series debuted in 2013. Each season has 60 episodes, and the first season ended in 2015. Season two followed in 2016. Season three released on 4 April 2022 on Netflix. Each episode is relatively short, and various formats have been broadcast, including one, five, and seven-minute episodes. The series has won several awards since its debut, including the Asian Television Awards, Apollo Awards, Gold Panda Awards, and Web TV Asia Awards. In 2017, it was nominated for an international Kids Emmy Award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
