Cat Burglar

No longer streaming: Netflix removed this title in December 2024. See availability below.

Synopsis

Rowdy Cat is a smooth-talking feline thief on a mission to steal a priceless painting from a heavily guarded museum, but standing in his way is Peanut the security guard dog, and the viewer's ability to answer trivia questions correctly. In this unique hybrid of interactive film and trivia game, the viewer watches Rowdy's heist unfold in classic cartoon style, but at key moments must answer rapid-fire trivia questions. Correct answers help Rowdy advance past traps and guards; wrong answers trigger hilarious slapstick failures straight out of a Tom and Jerry cartoon. The branching paths lead to different heist outcomes depending on the viewer's trivia prowess, and hidden bonus scenes reward perfect runs. Created by the team behind Nailed It, Cat Burglar turns the interactive format into a party game, blending hand-drawn animation with competitive knowledge challenges.

How the Branching Works

Cat Burglar features 4 distinct endings. At key decision points the film pauses and presents your options, your choice determines which scene plays next, reshaping alliances, outcomes, and the story's resolution. With 12 minutes of total footage spread across these branches, a single viewing reveals only a fraction of what the film contains. Replay to discover hidden subplots, alternate character arcs, and endings that only unlock when you choose differently.
