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

The Tiny Chef Show is an American live action/stop motion children's television series created by Rachel Larsen, Ozlem "Ozi" Akturk and Adam Reid that premiered on Nickelodeon on September 9, 2022. In June 2025, in a controversial move, the series was cancelled after three seasons in the midst of the merger between Nickelodeon's parent company, Paramount Global, and Skydance Media; with the cancellation being announced via a video animated by the team behind the show. On July 1, the show's creators announced that they had crowdfunded enough to continue social media posts. This was reported on July 3 as the show being "saved", leaving the creators to clarify the following day that they were still working on a deal to revive the series. As of April 2026, the show remains canceled. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
