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

Mexican aliens come to Earth and start a war with Mexican humans. The movie follows both sides in a comedy that doesn't take itself seriously.

What happens

Marcianos vs. Mexicanos (lit. 'Martians vs. Mexicans') is a 2018 Mexican adult animated science fiction comedy film produced, written, and directed by Gabriel Riva Palacio Alatriste and Rodolfo Riva Palacio Alatriste. The film features the voices of Adal Ramones, Martha Higareda, Omar Chaparro, Angélica Vale, Eduardo Manzano, and Jaime Maussan. Produced by Huevocartoon Producciones (best known for the Huevos franchise), it is the company's first original project as it features an entirely human cast and original story, in contrast to the company's previous feature films, following Otra Pelicula de Huevos y un Pollo (2009), and in a similar way to its internet shorts. The film is aimed for a mature audience. The film was released in Mexico on March 9, 2018, opening to negative critical reception and a box-office disappointment. It has been made available on digital platforms via Pantaya in the United States. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
