Extinct

Op and Ed, two adorable donut-shaped animals - flummels - accidentally time-travel from 1835 to modern-day Shanghai. There they discover traffic, trans fats, and worst of all, that flummels are now extinct. It's up to this bumbling pair to save themselves and their species...and, just maybe, change the course of history.

    Enjoyable, but full of plotholes
    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.

    I don't mind this movie but I can't get over 1 little thing. There's a part where Hoss the triceratops says "that belonged to Cleopatra" when the headress belongs to the superior Nefertari. As someone who loves egyptology it bugs me that their go to was Cleopatra over Tutankhamuns mother, the women who ruled Egypt untill he came of age.
