This year Netflix really surprised their fans with amazing shows that had incredible stories. In the summer, Stranger Things broke every record in the book with its highly successful fourth season. And just when fans thought the streamer had nothing more to offer, Netflix gave them the special treat possible in the form of The Sandman and its two bonus episodes.
<div class="flex-video widescreen youtube"><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Sandman | Two-Part Bonus Episode | Now Streaming | Netflix" width="1170" height="658" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XFfyRr8vm7U?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
The bonus episodes especially were something the fans were not expecting, even in their wildest dreams. And to top of all the sweetness, Netflix brought in actors from the original audiobook for memorable cameos. But do you know these cameos would not have been possible if the episodes weren&#8217;t animated? Let us find out more about it.
<h2>The animated The Sandman episodes were a blessing</h2>
Ever since the surprise of the bonus episodes by Netflix of <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/the-sandman/">The Sandman</a>, it is all anyone is talking about. And recently, the director of those episodes, Hisko Hulsing, even got the chance to talk about the special episode. In a recent interview with <a href="https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a41003299/sandman-boss-explains-david-tennant-cameo/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Digital Spy</a>, Hisko talked about how The cat episode was joined by David Tennant and Sandra Oh.

The two are part of an amazing voice cast of Dream of a Thousand Cats. In the episode, some of Morpheus&#8217; feline companions share their experiences with him. David is joined by his wife Georgia Tennant in scenes with co-star Michael Sheen and his companion Anna Lundberg. They were also joined by <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-i-will-wear-my-shackles-with-pride-neil-gaiman-has-no-guilt-for-leaking-the-sandman-scripts/">Gaiman,</a> comedian Joe Lycett, and James McAvoy, among others.

While discussing the incredible cast of the semi-animated episode director mentioned how had the episode been a live-action one, they would not have been able to get all these amazing actors to star in it. &#8220;If this would have been a live-action episode, it would have been much harder to get them on board and match all their agenda&#8217;s to be on a set in London,&#8221; said Hisko Hulsing.

Hulsing then explained how recording your lines in a Soundbooth is more accessible than coming to the set. In fact, &#8220;all recordings were done over Zoom.&#8221;
