Funny and entertaining, well worth the watch. Kids enjoyed the movie, lots of laugh and clever dialogue.

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.

The script is incoherent, the characters are flat and the whole thing just doesn't gel together. It seems as though the entire film was shot in 10 minutes during someone's lunch break and the storyline just goes all over the place. Very disappointing.

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.

Really enjoyed this film, very funny in places but spent most of it frustratedly searching Google to confirm that Richard Kind voices the whale. He is not mentioned on any of the cast lists including the one on IMDB, got my confirmation watching the end credits though.

Take "ice age" - you know, goofy animals struggling to prevent their own extinction. Cute it up with some furry creatures looking like mascots for a toilet seat company (to be fair, they are pretty cute). Let them travel in time until something goes terribly wrong. Spice it up with random appearances of people like Ernest Shackleton, the antarctic explorer, and you've got "Extinct". The animations are colourful and fresh. The story seems unnecessarily complicated, but it's still catchy most of the time. The pacing is like most kids movies nowadays: fast and furious. The humour is silly and will appeal to kids at the age of 6 to 9, I guess.
