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

Popcorn is an American children's variety show created by Sandra Peabody, who also served as executive producer and a writer and director for the series. The series stars Julia Markley, Mark Durrow, Kristina Yoshida, and Aaron Cooley as "Popcorn reporters" who conduct interviews and explore topics relevant to children. The series features several celebrity guest stars such as Eric Heiden and Tomie dePaola. Peabody, who began her career as a child actor, retired from acting and was transitioning to a career as a freelance producer. She wanted to create Popcorn in response to the decline in children's television productions. KATU picked up the series initially as a television special before expanding it to a full fledged series. Popcorn earned several accolades during its run, such as a Primetime Emmy Award, Iris Award and a NAB award. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
