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

Barbapapa: One Big Happy Family! (French: Barbapapa en famille !, lit. "Barbapapa with family!") is a French musical animated children's television series. The series serves as a reboot of the original Barbapapa television series based on the books of the same name by French-American couple Annette Tison and Talus Taylor. The series is a production of Normaal Animation, with the participation of TF1, Nickelodeon, Télé-Québec and RTS. The show was first announced in 2018 via a Nickelodeon press release, and began broadcasting in its native France beginning November 10, 2019 on TF1, as part of the TFOU programming block for children. On June 9, 2021, a compilation film consisting of previous episodes called Les Barbapapa se mettent au vert ("The Barbapapas Go Green") was released in French theaters. The second season premiered on November 5, 2023. It deviates from the original series and its sequel, Barbapapa Around the World's five-minute episode format by extending the length of each episode to eleven minutes, which allows for more involved episode plots with more storytelling.
