Flummels: Extintos!

A new animated venture. Extinct is born from a blend of different films like the croods or iceage and though you cannot compare them it still has all the hallmarks of a film like that. Silly goffy and family friendly fun is what this movie offers and it has an interesting story. These two doughnut creatures travel though time and findout their species will go extinct. So our heros have to find a way to prevent the problem. Adam devine and racheal bloom provide the voices of ed and op. Our heros theres also great voices like winkler, and catherine o hara. They all do well and its an interesting film to watch, overall a very good animated film.

To be fair, this was one of my favourite netflix movies not long ago. The characters (most of them) are pretty good, the villain is easily hated, and most of it makes sense. I love the revenge story behind the villain, and thought the storyline was ok, not top notch, but still, yet it wasn't too hard to find some flaws.

Firstly, the animation could have been better. Charles Darwin looks like a monkey, some of the animals are hideous and unbelievable and the humans (in which there are very few, thank goodness), are even worse.

While I do enjoy this movie, I think the ending got too complicated. The makers need to simplify it for the young kids. Some of the characters make unwise and even stupid decisions, others hated the main characters for no real reason and I felt like some of them even abandoned their personalities completely.

So I give it six stars because although it was really interesting, funny and the story was mostly pretty good, the animation could have been better, the ending simplified and the characters needed to be more believable.

It was sort of decent then pretty dumb, why did the other animals not try to be unextinct. The twist absolutely stupid. Why does China hate dogs which appears to be the message.

We're getting more of these sino-Netflix productions and I must say I am impressed with how much they improve on China's other attempts in animated fun during the last decade.

A professional, pacy, lively and adorable adventure awaits in a movie that could have so easily gone down the path of mawkish ecology but knows how to keep it fun.

Expect tons of anatomical gags but they don't detract from the delightful dynamic of live wire and her neurotic brother. At the heart of the story is a relationship where both members have to re-assess the way they treat or regard their sibling and it's all actually pretty satisfying.

Very visually beautiful with superb character designs, radiant back grounds and slick animation for its visual humor, my only real negative is how in the middle act they devote too much time to this quest through these time portals. It's a bit too much like a Mario game, you know?

But overall I was pleasantly surprised by this free-spirited no-brainer adventure that even has a song.

I sat down to watch the 2021 animated movie "Extinct" with my 11 year old son, and I have to say that we were both adequately entertained by what writers Joel H. Cohen, John Frink and John Frink managed to come up with for the story told here.

Now, the storyline told in "Extinct" was rather good, lots of nice details to the storyline, and also a good amount of comedy added to supplement the storyline itself. And there was an abundance of likeable characters throughout the course of the story.

Visually then "Extinct" was good. There were nice details to be seen in the scenes, and lots of unique characters and locations, which definitely added to the overall enjoyment of "Extinct".

With "Extinct" being an animated movie, then having a proper voice cast ensemble is a thing that can make or break the success of the project. And I will say that they definitely had put together a good ensemble for "Extinct", with the likes of Adam Devine, Ken Jeong, Rachel Bloom, Zazie Beetz, Jim Jefferies, Henry Winkler and others.

I found "Extinct" to be enjoyable, as did my 11 year old son, so directors David Silverman and Raymond S. Persi definitely made something with appeal to all ages.

My rating of "Extinct" lands on a six out of ten stars.
