Extinct Pink

About This Movie

So, 'Extinct Pink' is this quirky little gem from '69 that blends adventure, animation, and comedy in a way that feels very much like a product of its time. The tone swings between slapstick and a kind of whimsical absurdity as Pink, our animated protagonist, tussles with a caveman and a couple of dinosaurs over a bone. There's something oddly charming about the practical effects; you can tell they were working with what they had, and it gives the film this raw, unfiltered vibe that's quite distinct. The pacing has that classic cartoon rhythm, and the voice performances add a layer of humor that keeps it engaging. It’s not really mainstream but certainly has a unique character that draws you in, despite—or maybe because of—its imperfections.

'Extinct Pink' is a rare find among collectors, often overshadowed by more popular titles from the era. It had limited theatrical releases and has mostly circulated on home media formats, making original prints quite scarce. Collector interest seems to spike around animation enthusiasts and those with a taste for offbeat cinema from the late '60s, hinting at its niche appeal. If you come across it, it’s worth considering for its unique blend of humor and animation style.
