Extinct is an animated adventure presented in a movie format. Classified as a programme, it sits squarely within the adventure genre, offering a blend of animation and storytelling that aims to engage viewers of all ages. The story follows a pair of animals who find themselves unexpectedly displaced from the year 1835 to the bustling streets of contemporary Shanghai. Their journey thrusts them into a world vastly different from the one they know, as they're navigating the modern city's sights, sounds and challenges. The film brings the characters to life through the vocal performances of Adam Devine and Rachel Bloom, whose voices guide the audience through the animals’ extraordinary adventure. Their contributions add a distinct personality to the animated protagonists, helping to convey the contrast between the historic origins of the characters and the present‑day setting they now occupy. Both Devine and Bloom bring humour and warmth to their roles, enhancing the animals' personalities. By juxtaposing a 19th‑century backdrop with the fast‑paced life of today’s Shanghai, the programme creates a visual and narrative bridge between two very different eras. The animation captures both the rustic charm of the animals’ original time and the sleek, neon‑lit streets of the present, offering viewers a clear sense of the temporal shift.
