Even when you lose, the results are hilarious. I can understand why some would be frustated by answering witty questions about pop culture while trying to watch the cartoon in question, but as a toonhead who loves Avery's Texas-size slapstick, I recommended this.
The Art direction, The gags and the slap stick, the Easter eggs in the background, the entire show is eye candy! If it wasn't for the "interactive" part, you might have to repeat some segments over and over again before you reach the next part because of the tricky trivia questions, but if you manage to have full control over the trivia part, you can get over 90 minutes of content, with uncensored violence and fantastic animation, I thought at first that Rowdy and Peanut are just gonna be another generic comedic duo copying Droppy and Spike but their dynamic surprised me, Peanut doesn't have plot armor and Rowdy is a likeable jerk, I haven't laughed at a traditional old school inspired toon in a long time and some of the deaths here actually made me chuckle, This is a great love letter to one of the best cartoonists of all time with priciest mail stamps printed in gold, OH! And the soundtrack composed by Christopher Willis is so accurate to the ones scored by Scott Bradley it almost scarred me, I highly recommend it if you are a fan of old school cartoons, I loved it!
A Netflix interactive special that is homage to the golden age of animation w/ a Dragon's Lair style twist. This is what our future needs. The characters are likable, the art is amazing and the questions while easy at times can be tricky.
We can use a non-interactive sequel series about this 2 & hope it becomes a franchise if it does well.

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.

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.

- TriviaWhile the show refers to itself as a interactive cartoon, it acts as more of a game, with different scenes playing out in front of and inside the museum. It offers three questions in each round and if you get one wrong, a scene will play out where Rowdy dies. If you get all three right you move on to the next scene. If you miss questions in three rounds, rowdy ascends to heaven and you can start over. The scenes are completely different depending on where in the show you answer correctly or incorrectly. The questions will be different each time you restart or "try again".
- GoofsUnlike other Netflix interactive movies, you can rewind the video before it cuts to the next scene. This allows viewers to cheat death, as you can undo an incorrect answer by rewinding to before the prompt appears. Alternatively, you can lose a life by fast-forwarding after it cuts to the success scene and end up in a death scene.
- Crazy creditsThe opening has a MGM-style logo, in homage to the Tex Avery MGM cartoons that inspired this feature.
The logo has an elephant trumpeting and the slogan "Logo Parodis Spoofus".
