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 A-List is a 14 episode reality television series directed by David P. Levin for Animal Planet. Every episode classifies animals into categories for which they are known best. It was shown on Animal Planet from 2007–2008. Each episode of the series has a celebrity or comedian guest star who is tangentially related to the premise of the episode (Such as Gloria Gaynor, singer of I Will Survive, appearing in the episode 'Survivors') to narrate while footage of each animal in the ranking is played. To market the show animal planets website released a 'Flirt of the Month' 2008 pin up calendar, two Adobe Flash games, and a "who's on your a-list" section of their website where viewers could vote for their own animal rankings. The show shares many similarities with Animal Planet's prior ranking series The Most Extreme, with many of the episode titles, animal subjects and rankings being lifted directly from it.
