Charlie Booker creates interactive cartoon Cat Burglar

Bojack Horseman writers collaborate on Netflix show

Charlie Brooker has created an interactive’ cartoon for Netflix, inspired by Tex Avery's Looney Tunes.

Here is the first look at Cat Burglar – a show that also has an interactive component which requires viewers to answer questions to help Rowdy Cat pull off an art heist.

It takes an average of 15 minutes to watch the show, but more than 90 minutes of animation has been created to make each viewing different.

Brooker previously experimented with interactive storytelling in the 2018  Bandersnatch episode of Black Mirror.

Cat Burglar  was written by Mike Hollingsworth and James Bowman, whose credits include BoJack Horseman – and the pair are also executive producers alongside Brooker and Annabel Jones, his partner in the Broke And Bones production house.

American  stand-up and impressionist James Adomian plays the lead character and  veteran voiceover artist Alan Lee is Peanut the Security Pup.

Cat Burglar will be released globally on February 22.
