Forgotten Island - Your best friendship is worth fighting for

Read...
DreamWorks Animation returns with a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island. Watch the trailer below.
The new original film based on Philippine folklore is written and directed by Academy Award nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and is produced by Academy Award nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.

While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families. Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal, the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.

The original voice cast includes Grammy and Oscar-winning singers H.E.R. and Liza Soberano, the voices of the protagonists, as well as Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng, and many more.

Forgotten Island opens in theaters worldwide this September and at home on September 25.
