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

Super Xuxa Contra Baixo Astral (known in the United States as Super Xuxa vs. Bad Vibes) is a 1988 Brazilian fantasy film directed by Anna Penido and David Sonnenschein starring Xuxa Meneghel. Produced in 1988 by Dreamvision, with co-production by Movies Rio and Diller & Associados and Rio Filme, it marked the first time producer Diler Trindade and Xuxa worked together, which later led to eleven more films between 1989 and 2006, including Lua de Cristal, which broke Brazilian box office records in 1990. The film was released theatrically by Alvorada Filmes, Grupo Severiano Ribeiro, and Wermar in a then-record 93 cinemas (the widest release for a Brazilian film at the time), on June 30, 1988.
