Netflix’s Cat Burglar is an interactive trivia cartoon from Black Mirror creators

Cat Burglar, a new animated Netflix series all about a cat burgling a museum, is fully interactive — another entry in Netflix’s growing list of gamelike projects. The cartoon will allow viewers to choose the answers to trivia questions, and this determines whether or not the character dies. Cat BurglarThis cartoon is clearly inspired from classic Tex Avery cartoons and was created by the creators Black MirrorThe interactive film was previously created by. Bandersnatch.

The trailer for the new Netflix show introduces Rowdy, the titular cat burglar, and Peanut, the “security pup” at the museum Rowdy is nicking paintings from. When Rowdy and Peanut interact — either with Peanut swinging in to stop Rowdy from stealing, or watching Rowdy attempt to get past a hallway filled with lasers — trivia will pop up on the bottom of the screen.

The players will be asked rapid questions and Rowdy will proceed, at most for a brief moment, if they answer correctly. The correct answer must be selected multiple times so that Peanut can come and punish Rowdy.

It seems like the trailer suggests that the series is somewhere in between. Tom & Jerry Its. The Simpsons parody, Itchy & Scratchy. Rowdy can get taken down in far more gruesome fashion than just a bonk on the head, but we’re also not seeing Peanut inflate Rowdy’s eyes until they pop, filling the screen with blood.

Trailer promises that the show is different every time they jump in. There are also clips where Rowdy warns viewers that there may only be a handful of lives. The real question is: Cat Burglar The average viewers will be able to answer incorrectly many questions just so Rowdy can be killed in new and creative ways.

Cat BurglarNetflix releases the movie on February 22, 2018.
