El gato ladrón

I really like seeing something like this that's not kids themed.

With the getting to choose what happens to the characters based on what you do. Wish it was something that wasn't trivia and, more related to the plot of the actual video.

Cat Burglar's animation along with its music and voice overs reminded me of old classical cartoons which were before my time and I like watching them growing up hence Cat Burglar took me on a trip down the memory lane , it not only brought nostalgia but entertainment for me . As for the interactive feature, even being minimal I found it fascinating compared to previous series or movies put out by Netflix because every-time you make a wrong choice you get different experience and animation short and for the correct choices there lies more fun and action ahead . When you give wrong answers you get three lives before you go to heaven or hell thereafter and after that you indeed get another chance .For correct choices there is a story line , surprisingly good . Questions for choices are not boring, pay attention to them you might find them amusing and if you could not find answers first a few times pay attention there is a cheat method , even if you don't find one just enjoy the cartoon .It does have several Easter eggs and homages to old cartoons. It indeed entertained me and served with nostalgia of classical animated shorts .

Give it a try and be patient at the beginning. My rating is a strong eight ,maybe a nine.

Cat Burglar is an interactive movie that is a tribute to classic cartoons like Tex Avery's Droopy shorts, however, in this, you can actually help the bad guy win. In this, Rowdy, the cat (and bad guy in the same vein as the wolf in Red Hot Riding Hood) plans to steal a painting from a museum, with Peanut (the Droopy of the short) standing guard, as if he messes up, it's back to the pound.

So here is where the interactive part comes into play. During each scene (which is randomly selected), you get a question, and you have to guess three answers to the question. However, what makes this aspect lose points with me is that the movie requires perfection to advance, as getting even one answer wrong results in a bad scene where Peanut kills Rowdy, losing one of his three lives (with the first life loss explaining why he does not have nine). Also, unlike other Netflix interactive movies, you can actually cheat in this one, as if you get a question wrong, you can exit out of the movie, and re-enter it to start the section over, hence avoiding losing a life (this is basically one of my major gripes with Trivia Quest, as if you get a question wrong, you can do that and it will restart with the question in tow, making me wish Netflix would actually implement anti-cheating measures where if it detects something, it would immediately begin with Peanut killing Rowdy, and in the death screen, Rowdy scolds the viewer for his attempt to cheat).

But other than those gripes, the thing is good. Other than the random scenes, Cat Burglar actually entices you to play after you win, as the game tasks you to help Rowdy steal all art pieces just to see the best ending. Not only that, the death and game over scenes are interesting (but are also very violent, even more than a typical Droopy cartoon, and even having some crude humor taken from Ren and Stimpy), making this not for kids (although the questions are stuff kids would not know about). Cat Burglar is a good movie, but I hope if it gets a sequel, the creators ease up on the requirements (maybe only allow two out of three questions to be correct) and add scenes to help prevent cheating.

As a Netflix customer and gamer I always find time to play these interactive stories, albeit a mere 12 minutes for this show.

I enjoyed the brilliant throwback style, which reminded me of watching old cartoons like Tom & Jerry. It's actually pretty neat to be able to "play" with similar characters that I used to watch on the television. Did anyone else pretend to play the television with an unplugged N64 controller?

The plot and comedy are fine really, I enjoyed it enough and it did get a few laughs from me. If you enjoy slapstick comedy, or fancy an old school cartoon, then you will more than likely enjoy this.

I would probably give more stuff like it a go if it was on a subscription service I already used. I would definitely be reluctant to ever sign up to a new service for interactive stories and wouldn't consciously factor in this modern genre when contemplating subscribing to streaming services. Maybe this show truly resembles an irrelevant comedy.

I experienced this show with my wife who has dyslexia. I initially had the first attempt and didn't get any answers wrong. It turns out that if I left it there I would have enjoyed it alot less. When my wife had her attempts she immediately struggled to get the correct answers due to how quickly she had to answer and found it difficult to read the questions in time. Making mistakes provided humorous outcomes which were the funniest parts in my book.

The questions are fairly easy and show that the creators have put a good deal of thought in to the show being enjoyable to across different demographics. However in the world we live in I am surprised that the creators didn't add accessibility options and i would really appreciate it if they do implement these settings in this episode and/or in future episodes.
