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

Superstar (also stylized SuperStar) is a Brazilian live reality television singing competition airing on TV Globo. Based on the Israeli singing competition Rising Star, the series was created by Keshet Media Group and developed by Screenz Cross Media LTD. The show's format lets viewers vote for contestants via mobile apps. The winner is entitled to a R$ 500,000 prize, a new Ford Ka and a recording contract with Som Livre. The Brazilian version only allows bands or groups to compete, not solo artists and duos, to avoid clashing with The Voice Brasil (also produced and broadcast by TV Globo during the Southern Hemisphere spring). The series premiered on April 6, 2014. In June 2014, TV Globo renewed the show for a second season. In November 2016, TV Globo canceled the series after three seasons due to declining viewership.
