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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Andy Colby's Incredible Adventure is a 1988 science fiction children's film directed by Deborah Brock and written by Brock and Jed Horovitz. It stars Randy Josselyn, Dianne Kay, Chuck Kovacic, John Franklin, and Vince Edwards. Its plot is about a boy who has to travel through several videos and static-filled channels in order to rescue his sister, who was snatched into the television because she sat too close to it. As it was thought the film's original release title would be confused with Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, the name was changed to Andy and the Airwave Rangers for 1989 video release. The film is referred to as a full-length "cheater" in that it takes advantage of film highlights gleaned from previous Roger Corman films Space Raiders, Wizards of the Lost Kingdom, Deathsport, Chopping Mall, and Wheels of Fire.
