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

How it feels

A comedy film where the main character Maeng-Gu acts in an exaggerated foolish way. He faces a hell king in a childish plot that was originally meant for a different movie series.

What happens

"맹구와 북두신검"(Maeng-Gu And Ursa Major God's Sword)은 한국에서 제작된 왕룡 감독의 1992년 코미디 영화이다. 이창훈 등이 주연으로 출연하였고 정욱 등이 제작에 참여하였으며 TV에서 보여줬던 이창훈의 바보몸짓이 더욱 과장되어 묘사됐던 점 뿐 아니라 지옥마왕이 등장하는 등의 줄거리가 유치하기 짝이 없는 수준이란 혹평이 있었고 처음 기획안은 《영구와 땡칠이》5편 '북두신검'이었지만 이 영화 주역 물망에 올랐던 심형래가 제작사와의 마찰 때문에 갈라져 출연을 포기하자 '맹구' 이창훈을 주역으로 기용하는 한편 해당 영화(맹구와 북두신검)로 급하게 수정했다.
