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.

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).
