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

The Adventure Club is a Canadian children's fantasy film, directed by Geoff Anderson and released in 2016. The film centers on Ricky, Bill and Sandy, three young kids who discover a magic box that grants wishes, and must protect it from Langley (Billy Zane), a greedy businessman who wants it to help him attain his dream of purchasing and redeveloping the local science centre. The film's cast also includes Robin Dunne, Gabrielle Miller, Lorne Cardinal and Kim Coates. The screenplay was written by Dunne and Fred Ewanuick, and the film was produced in Saskatchewan in the fall of 2015.
