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

Hazbin Hotel is an American adult animated musical black comedy television series created, directed, and executive-produced by Vivienne "VivziePop" Medrano. The series revolves around Charlie Morningstar, crown princess of Hell, on her quest to find a way for sinners to be "redeemed" and allowed into Heaven via her "Hazbin Hotel" as an alternative to Heaven's annual "extermination" of souls due to Hell's overpopulation. The series is produced by Medrano's company SpindleHorse in collaboration with A24, Amazon MGM Studios, and the animation studio Bento Box Entertainment. The pilot episode was released on YouTube on October 28, 2019. The first season premiered on Amazon Prime Video on January 19, 2024, with its first episode also released on YouTube a day earlier for a limited time. The second season premiered on October 29, 2025. The series has been renewed for three additional seasons, with the fifth season set to serve as its last. The series has received generally positive reviews from critics. As of January 2024, Hazbin Hotel was the largest global debut for an animated series on Prime Video. The popularity and success of the pilot allowed Medrano to create the spin-off series Helluva Boss, which began on November 25, 2019, with a pilot episode, followed by the premiere of its first season on October 31, 2020. The series features a different cast of characters within the same in-universe setting. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
