Honestly 'Extinct' did not need anything else but "what if donut shaped animals" to carry the entire damn plot, seriously look at them go, look at them animated, what more do you need

So I am not sure how I feel about... everything else. It kinda feels like multiple children's books crammed into one...? Dropping one or two elements may even have improved the experience? It also does the thing where a Chinese production tries to remind you that it is!! Chinese!! Not American!! (China is also a place where movies can happen!!) in a way that feels... vaguely inorganic.

But maybe on a related note, it being Chinese may explain why some twists and developments are not quite set up the way you would expect in an anglo-saxon cartoon -

Here is. The main thing.

It was NOT until the main boy donut and the dodo bird lady looked each other deeply into the eyes and the dodo lady passionately pouncing and engulfing the donut boy that I realized, all their previous interactions were supposed to be raw sexual tension

Also, long before you are able to mentally absorb the sheer "I cannot believe they went there", Yepp, there is already a donut-shaped egg
