What happens

Project: ALF is a 1996 American made-for-television science fiction comedy film directed by Dick Lowry which serves as a sequel to the final episode "Consider Me Gone" of the 1986–1990 sitcom ALF as well as bringing the character's story to a conclusion. It was broadcast in the U.S. by ABC and in Canada on CHCH-TV on February 17, 1996. The film was released on DVD in 2005 and on Blu-ray in 2023. The only actors to appear in both the series and film were Paul Fusco (the voice and puppeteer of ALF, who also co-wrote and co-executive produced the film) and Beverly Archer (who played Mrs. Byrd on the TV series and Dr. Carnage in the film).
