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

Dinotrux is an American animated television series based on Chris Gall's series of books by the same name. It features a fictional prehistoric world inhabited by hybrid characters that are part animal and part machine. Originally DreamWorks Animation had the intention to develop a film, but later decided to create a television series. From season six and onwards, it was known as Dinotrux Supercharged. The show was later removed from Netflix, and a birthday celebration spinoff short was also removed months later. The dialogue was said to be "pun–laden", with the moral being that friends can take various forms. Said to be by whom? similar to Dinosaucers, it is noted for being a continuation of a post-war period sentient machines trope. The mechanics of the show were noted to be realistic. It was nominated for two Annie Awards, one Leo Awards, and seven Daytime Emmy Awards, winning two. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
