Cat Burglar

This was originally published in Watch The Skies April edition.

You need to know right up front that there is cartoon violence involved in what I’m recommending this month. IF that’s not your thing… definitely skip it. IF you’re not put off by the old school Loony Tunes style bashing and blowing up, then this show is for you.

The main characters in this short are /Rowdy (rotten criminal) and Peanut (guard dog). Rowdy is after the most valuable painting in the world and Peanut is trying to keep that painting right where it is in the museum. The catch here is that YOU help decide how it all works out. This animated feature is interactive. There will be a series of questions at various points in the show that require your input via the remote control. Get all the questions right, get one result. Get a question wrong, get something totally different. Run out of chances and you can go back and try again, giving you a completely different result. The run time was listed at something like 12 minutes, but be warned! I ended up going through multiple times to see various options and endings and was watching for far longer than the listed run time.

A creative cartoon from the same group that produced Black Mirror (Bandersnatch anyone?) this will be something folks craving that old school feel will really get into. Here’s a link to give you some in depth info: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/cat-burglar-netflix-interactive-special/
