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

Masters of the Universe is an American animated superhero fantasy television series from showrunner Kevin Smith, and produced by Mattel Television and Powerhouse Animation Studios, with animation services provided by DR Movie. A sequel to the 1983–1985 series He-Man and the Masters of the Universe by Filmation—while ignoring the events of She-Ra: Princess of Power (1985–1987), and The New Adventures of He-Man (1990)—the plot of the series explores unresolved storylines from the original series. It stars the voices of Chris Wood, Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Liam Cunningham, Lena Headey, Melissa Benoist, William Shatner, Meg Foster and Keith David, and follows after a terrible battle between He-Man and Skeletor that left Eternia divided, and the Guardians of Grayskull split up. Now, many decades later, Teela needs to reunite this group of heroes and decipher the mysterious disappearance of the Sword of Power. Netflix released the first series, Masters of the Universe: Revelation, in two parts, with five episodes debuting July 23, 2021, then five additional episodes on November 23, 2021. In June 2022, Netflix announced a second series, Masters of the Universe: Revolution (the third and final part overall), which premiered on January 25, 2024. The series received generally positive reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
