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

Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeasts is an animated science fantasy action television series created by Radford Sechrist and developed by Bill Wolkoff, adapted from Sechrist's 2015 webcomic Kipo. The series is produced by American company DreamWorks Animation Television in partnership with South Korean animation studio Mir. The young adult animated series follows a teenage girl named Kipo Oak, who is searching for her father after being forced to flee from her burrow, and must explore the post-apocalyptic surface world ruled by mutated animals to find him. Along the way, she befriends human survivors Wolf and Benson, and the mutant animals Dave and Mandu. The series has been critically acclaimed for its design, characterization, music, world-building, voice acting, and diversity. The series is particularly notable for its representation of LGBT characters and characters of color. The series was removed from Netflix on June 26, 2026, due to the expiration of DreamWorks' license to keep the series on the streaming service. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
