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

Win or Lose is an American animated television miniseries created by Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates for the streaming service Disney+. It is the first original series produced by Pixar Animation Studios. The series revolves around a co-ed middle school softball team called the Pickles in the week leading up to their big championship game, with each episode showing the perspective of each member of the team. The series' cast includes Will Forte, Ian Chen, Izaac Wang, Jo Firestone, Milan Ray, Josh Thomson, Erin Keif, Rosie Foss, Rosa Salazar, Chanel Stewart, Dorien Watson, Lil Rel Howery, Flula Borg, Kyliegh Curran, Jaylin Fletcher, Tom Law, Beck Nolan, Orion Tran, and Rhea Seehorn. Pixar was developing the long-form original series following the creation of Disney+. It was announced in December 2020, during Disney's Investor Day. Win or Lose draws inspiration from conversations between Hobson and Yates, who had different reactions to the same production meetings while working on Toy Story 4. Docter described the series as "a comedy about love, rivalry, and the challenges we all face in our struggles to win at life". The musical score was composed by Ramin Djawadi. Win or Lose premiered on Disney+ on February 19, 2025, and consisted of eight episodes released weekly in groups of two until March 12. It received positive reviews from critics, although Disney's decision to remove scenes explicitly confirming a character as being transgender was criticized. It began airing on the Disney Channel on June 7, 2025. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
