Extinct (2021)

Siblings Op and Ed are flummels, fluffy rabbit-type creatures with holes in their center and who are native to the Galapagos islands. The pair are ostracized by their community, due to Op’s proneness to disaster. Just before Charles Darwin discovers their island during one of his many voyages, Op and Ed locate and fall into a huge flower that teleports them to modern-day China, where they meet and befriend a poodle named Clarance. The siblings learn their species is now extinct after Darwin found the island destroyed by a volcanic eruption.

Clarance brings them to the Time Terminal, a place where Clarance’s owner, Dr. Chung, kept and studied the flowers and their seeds, which have time-traveling properties. Op accidentally knocks some seeds out, causing the Terminal to malfunction and sending Clarance to 1915 Antarctica, along with the seed that leads the flummels home. In Antarctica, Clarance is captured by Ernest Shackleton’s expedition team. With the help of the Extinctables — a team of extinct animals composed of Dottie, a dodo; Burnie, a Tasmanian tiger; Alma, a Macrauchenia; and Hoss, a Triceratops, who were bought by Dr. Chung to the Terminal — Op and Ed travel through each seed in order to find the one that can bring them home and rescue Clarance.

Following a falling out with Ed, Op returns to the flummels’ time, where she attempts to warn the rest of the flummels about the volcano. Clarance imprisons her, telling her that flummels ruined his life and that he is actually behind their extinction. Clarance had been adopted by Dr. Chung, but after Dr. Chung was charmed by the adorable flummels, Clarance went Maverick, pushing Dr. Chung into one of the many flowers and destroying the seed that would send him back.

He then caused the flummels’ extinction by planting a drone bomb. After Ed’s arrival after seeing the video Op made, they make several attempts to escape and stop the bomb, eventually deploying a seed to move the entire island into the present day. Clarance survives, but Dr. Chung arrives and sends him back to 1915 Antarctica, thanking the flummels and the Extinctables.

After that, Op and Ed are finally accepted by their community, while Dottie surprises Ed by laying an egg shaped like a flummel. The egg hatches, but the creature inside the egg is kept a secret.
