Damn it, somebody stole my idea. Rather, somebody had the same idea I had and ran with it. See, I always thought it would be cool to create a DVD for kids in which they could use the remote control to decide where the story goes, what the characters do, etc. I never tried to actually do this because I would have absolutely no idea how. This is part of the "never try to learn anything new" philosophy I hope to pass on to my children someday. The new DVD of which I speak is a video version of the Choose Your Own Adventure books we all read as children. The first DVD is an animated adventure called The Abominable Snowman and features the voices of Frankie Muniz of Malcolm in the Middle, Felicity Huffman of Desperate Housewives, and Lacey Chabert of Party of Five and Family Guy, season one (also William H. Macy and Mark Hamill). The DVD is being released via a hefty deal with Life Cereal, but I wrote about all of that over on our sister site, Ad Jab.Choose Your Own Adventure comes to DVD

This is a brilliant innovation for the fledgling company. 11 movies packed into 85 minutes is quite a lot, and I doubt the complexity of the story (especially with a name like "The Abominable Snowman") is in any way deep, but it is the CONCEPT here, that is so incredible.
This will be an idea and a franchise to watch as we move ever closer into virtual reality movies and gaming....

If making the wrong choice results in the protaginist's grisly demise, like the books did, I might be interested in one. Although I am far from the target demographic.
