Extinct

Extinct follows Op and Ed, pair of bubbly donut-shaped creatures known as flummels, who slip from 1835 into modern Shanghai by accident. Suddenly amid neon signs and cacophonous traffic they learn that their species has vanished from the world. The mismatched duo fumbles through a bustling city of scooters, street food, and fast talk, discovering that surviving in this era isnt easy for a creature bred for quirks rather than chronometers. With help from a wily cast of human and animal friends, they chase a way to reverse the pastry sized misfortune that erased their kind. Laughter, chaos, and a dash of clever science drive their misadventure as they search for a remedy before time runs out for all flummels.
