Mohsen loves animals, and incidently he speaks their language - which he makes good use of every time his parents take him to the nearby jungle. Unfortunately, of late poachers roam the jungle, their prime target being tiger Tigy - and since Mohsen can't let Tigy fall into their hands he lets Tigy hide in the trunk of his dad's car and later sneaks him into his room. But a city is no place for a tiger, so he attaches himself to a school trip, just to smuggle Tigy back into the jungle in his luggage. And despite many mishaps, this plan actually works out. Thing is, the poachers are still around, and they capture jungle animals left and right, many Mohsen's friends, and he decides to save them and thus assumes his superhero identity Nimble Kid. Problem is, whiile Mohsen indeed has super powers, they are limited, and he has but little control over them, so in an attempt to save the animals from the poachers, led by imposing Extinguisher Alex, he sets the forest on fire and drives them right into Alex's trap. And now Mohsen really owes the animals to save them - but how to do it when he's not only outnumbered but also prone to capital errors?

Now of course, Extinction: Animals Unite is a film for the whole family, so don't expect anything too provocative or over-the-top or quite simply avant garde here - but that said, this is a movie that's at times really funny, has some great setpieces, carries a very welcome animal preservation message, and of course the occasional references to the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip don't hurt none either.- and what's most important, it doesn't talk down to its young audience but isn't too childish for its adult viewers, so really delivers on what a family film's supposed to be.
