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

She-Ra and the Princesses of Power is an American animated superhero television series developed by ND Stevenson and produced by DreamWorks Animation Television for Netflix. It is a reboot of the 1985 Filmation series She-Ra: Princess of Power, and like the original series, it tells the tale of Adora, an adolescent who can transform into the heroine She-Ra and leads a group of other magical princesses in a rebellion against the evil Lord Hordak and his Horde. She-Ra and the Princesses of Power received critical acclaim, with particular praise for its diverse cast and the complex relationship between She-Ra and her best friend-turned-archenemy Catra. In 2019, the show was nominated for a GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids & Family Programming, as well as a Daytime Emmy Award at the 46th Daytime Emmy Awards. In 2021, the series was tied with First Day when it won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Kids and Family Programming. The series ran on Netflix from November 13, 2018 (2018-11-13), to May 15, 2020 (2020-05-15), having released 52 episodes over 5 seasons. On linear TV, the show previously aired on CBBC in the United Kingdom, before it moved to Pop on January 30, 2023. It also aired on Disney Channel and DreamWorks Channel across the globe. The series was removed from Netflix on February 21, 2026, due to the expiration of DreamWorks' license to keep the series on the streaming service. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
