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

Steven Universe Future is an American animated series created by Rebecca Sugar for Cartoon Network. It serves as an epilogue to Steven Universe (2013–2019) and a follow-up to its television film sequel Steven Universe: The Movie (2019). It premiered on December 7, 2019, and concluded on March 27, 2020. The series focuses on the aftermath of the events of Steven Universe, where extraterrestrial magical Gems coexist in harmony with humans after the end of the war between the Crystal Gems and Gem Homeworld. Without the threats of the Diamonds or corrupted Gems, Steven must deal with the everyday challenges that still come with his now relatively peaceful life, and question his new life objectives. Like the original series, Steven Universe Future received critical praise for its design, music, voice acting, characterization, and prominent LGBT themes. The series was also praised for addressing issues some had with the original series, as well as for choosing to focus on the aftermath of the main story's climax and promoting mental health awareness through Steven's experience with psychological trauma. The episode "Fragments" was nominated for the 2020 Primetime Emmy Award for Short Form Animated Program. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
