Also, I could make a game inspired by the 2021 film Extinct. Extinct is a film about Flummels which discover that their species will become extinct. They travel in time and realise that their species no longer exists. I could make a game based off of this premise. Animals travelling to save their species. This game could be story-based and a point and click game could work well for this. The player would learn about their species of animal and they could travel to famous landmarks around the world to find others of their kind. This could be a unique game concept.

What was in that egg anyway?

[sanktpolypenbourg]

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

Extinct has adorable leads -- Op and Ed. They are uniquely shaped like furry, flexible doughnuts. Watching them in an hour and a half melts your heart and mind. Adam Devine and Rachel Bloom are the perfect cast here. However, there are some technical parts of Extinct that feel bland to the eyes. The animation does not feel dynamic especially when it focuses on a background whether it's an environment or a group of characters. It's static. Also, Clarance, the naughty dog, has an inconsistent and unconvincing character transformation. Overall, Extinct is passable and its flaws can just be eliminated by the cute, funny, and energetic flummels.

Flummel posting

I watch a lot of mediocre animated movies, and Extinct (2021) is one of them but it gave me a kinda cool whump idea.

It’s a pretty average animated adventure-comedy, but one sort of notable thing is the design of the main characters, who are these bizarre... wheel-creatures called Flummels with toroidal bodies with a giant hole through the middle of their torsos from the dorsal to ventral side.

This is an absolute shitpost of a character design, and they managed to get pretty much ever possible visual gag possible out of it including multiple uses of the “Sharp deadly object goes harmlessly through the hole already through the character” gag, but what I wanna talk about is there is a moment in the movie when one of the protagonists gets locked to a tree with a fucking bike lock.

Okay uhh, actually this has serious whump potential as a concept. The movie didn’t really make full use of it because it was the kind of g-rated “mild peril” you’d expect from a kid’s movie written by a committee determined to not take any risks, but this is pretty cool because it’s a form of restraint that’s theoretically harmless but also topologically inescapable. There’s no hope whatsoever of wiggling or slipping free of it like cuffs or manacles or ropes or even a straitjacket because it’s through your entire body.

It’s not even like some of the fucked-up Jigsaw traps where he hooks something between something into someone’s flesh or under a rib or something and they have to gruesomely tear themselves free. I’m not clear what the fuck these creatures’ anatomy even is and how much potential there is for one to injure themselves panicking and trying to get free but the one thing that was canonically shown in the film is that their spine is shaped like a fucking circle so there is no possible conceivable way to even tear free without being literally ripped in half.

Also the canonical ending of the movie has these creatures becoming popular pets so stupid people being stupid people there would be so many bad owners tying / locking their flummels to things.

Anyway I’m just saying, if you have any characters that just so happen to also naturally have giant holes through their bodies, then like... chain them to objects. Railings, bike racks, utility poles, truck trailer hitches, you name it. And know that the chain being cut or unlocked is the only possible way for them to be freed.

Friendship of the Buizel with Op (flummel)

My husband watched the cartoon "Extinct" and he really liked one of the main characters - a flummel Op. He asked me to draw a picture - how Buizel and Op met each other. This is my version 😄

Teaser image for the animated comedy feature Extinct, a China-US co-production. It will be presented for international sales at the Toronto Film Festival.

Extinct follows Op and Ed — two specimens of the donut-shaped animals known as flummels. When the duo accidently time travel from 1835 to modern-day Shanghai and discover a very strange world where flummels have gone extinct, they set out to save themselves, and their species.
