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

Sabai Sabai Sesame, or Happy Happy Sesame in English, is the Cambodian version of the popular American children's series Sesame Street. It debuted 13 December 2005 on Apsara TV-11. The show was produced by Educational Television Cambodia in association with Sesame Workshop, through a grant from the United States embassy. Episodes were aired twice weekly in Khmer. The show largely consisted of clips of the American production dubbed in Khmer by Babel Studios and Seven Colours. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
