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
Villainous (Spanish: Villanos) is a Mexican animated television and web series produced by Animated Imagination Studios (previously for Cartoon Network and HBO Max, until 2025, when it was mentioned that its spin-off, Villanous: Ties of Thieves, will be released by Animated Imagination Studios on their YouTube channel). It was created by Alan Ituriel, a veteran of the animation industry in Mexico. It is based on a 2012 web series of the same name which Ituriel had previously created and was initially picked up by Cartoon Network Latin America as a miniseries of ten one-minute episodes for the Cartoon Network Anything app (further episodes, along with a series of specials, were released later). The series is co-produced by Cartoon Network (through its Latin America Original Production unit) and A.I. Animation Studios. The series has since expanded onto a media franchise consistent of books and tie-ins. On October 11, 2021, Ituriel's Animated Imagination Studios revealed that the series would be released on HBO Max Latin America and Cartoon Network Mexico, and premiered on both platforms on October 29, 2021. The series premiered on Max in the United States on May 23, 2023. On May 15, 2025, it was announced that an exclusive web series spin-off entitled Villainous: Ties of Thieves (Spanish: Villanos: Lazos de Ladrones) was in production, set to be released in late 2025, but was delayed. On April 26, 2026, it was announced that the second part of the first season would premiere in 2027, with 20 episodes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
