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.

How it feels

Oggy the cat deals with three mischievous cockroaches in his house. He also looks after a seven-year-old elephant named Piya. The show has a more gentle tone than the original series and uses a geometric art style.

What happens

Oggy and the Cockroaches: Next Generation (French: Oggy et les Cafards : Nouvelle Génération) is a French animated series produced by Xilam for the streaming service Netflix. It is the eighth season of Oggy and the Cockroaches, and serves as a reboot to it. Like the original series, it focuses on the wacky antics of Oggy and a trio of mischievous cockroaches that inhabit his house. Aside from the titular characters, the series also introduces the seven-year-old Piya, an optimistic elephant from India whom Oggy has to look after. The series premiered on Gulli in France on November 8, 2021, followed by a worldwide release on Netflix on July 28, 2022. Unlike the previous seasons and Oggy Oggy, both of which have episodes that last 22 minutes and contain three self-contained segments, Next Generation's episodes last for 43 minutes with six segments each on Netflix. This is not the case for Gulli, however. The series drastically tones itself down compared to the original, with a focus on Oggy's friendship with Piya, and is visualized with a more geometric style.
