Alex Borstein and Rachel Bloom among stellar cast of new animation Extinct
Stars of The Marvelous Mrs Maisel and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend will be joined by Adam Devine, Ken Jeong, Zazie Beetz, Jim Jeffries, Reggie Watts, Julia Chan and Steve Aoki.
The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’s Alex Borstein and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend actress Rachel Bloom are among a stellar cast lending their vocal talents on Extinct, a new feature animation arriving on Sky Cinema later this month.
Chalk and cheese siblings Op (Bloom) and Ed (Adam Devine) are Flummels – cute, furry donut-shaped animals who live on an island in the Galapagos in 1835.
Ed, a grumpy pessimist, desperately wants to fit in with the community, while the overly exuberant Op constantly creates havoc that makes them outsiders.
When they accidentally time travel to modern-day Shanghai, they discover traffic, trans fats, and worst of all, that flummels are now extinct.
It’s up to this bumbling pair to save themselves and their species – and, just maybe, change the course of history.
Directed by David Silverman and Raymond S Persi, the cast also features Ken Jeong, Zazie Beetz, Jim Jeffries, Reggie Watts, Julia Chan and Steve Aoki.
Extinct is released on Sky Cinema and Now TV from 20 August
