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

For Kids' Sake is an American public service announcement (PSA) campaign launched by Westinghouse Broadcasting and Boston's then-NBC television station WBZ-TV in March 1985, featuring educational, health, and safety messages for children. The campaign encourages parents to "take the time to give and care" to ensure a brighter future for children across the United States. Despite the show targeting at adults age 25 and 54, For Kids' Sake is a two-year campaign (multi-year on some stations) that aired in most television markets throughout the 1980s, with a small number of stations continuing into portions of the 1990s. The campaign, by market, was sponsored by various national corporations, such as McDonald's and True Value, and local businesses such as dealerships, hospitals, and regional grocery store chains.
