Forgotten Island movie animation produced by DreamWorks studio is going to be released digitally.

The digital version of this film will be released on October 27 (Aban 5), about a month after the theatrical release. This work, which is a combination of adventure, fantasy, comedy and family drama, takes the audience on a mysterious journey on an imaginary island; Where two old friends must face mythical creatures to return home, while fighting to preserve their shared memories.

Forgotten Island wide release in the US has started on September 25, 2026. This animation is directed by Joel Crawford and Janol Mercado and distributed by Universal Pictures. The duration of the movie is about one hour and 49 minutes. The story of Forgotten Island is about two best friends named Joe and Raisa who grew up together since childhood. After graduating from high school, these two are about to enter a new phase of their lives. Raisa is going to move to America and this issue has raised concerns about the future of their friendship.

On their last night together, an unexpected event changes their lives. Joe and Raisa are transported to Nakali through a mysterious portal; A magical island filled with mythical creatures and mythological characters inspired by Philippine culture. The island seems like a wonderful place at first glance, but it soon becomes clear that returning home is not that simple. Two girls realize that they have to face various dangers to get out of the island and find a way to save themselves.

Their most important threat is not only the strange and dangerous creatures of the island; But their shared memories are also at risk of destruction. The longer they stay in Nakali, the more likely they are to forget their past and their old friendship. For this reason, trying to return home becomes a race against time; A competition whose result can change the future of the relationship of these two friends forever.

One of the notable points of Forgotten Island is the presence of a group of well-known artists in the voice acting department. H.E.R. Joe is voiced by Lisa Soberano, speaking for Raisa. Dave Franco is also the voice of Rao, a character who looks like a hybrid of a human and a dog. Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly De Leon, Joe Cui, Rani Ching and Leah Salonga are among the other artists who are present in this project. Leah Salonga voices Mananangal, one of the most feared creatures on the island.

The diversity of this group of voice actors, along with the use of Filipino legends, has given the film a distinct identity. The creators have tried to provide an entertaining story for families that, along with adventure and humor, also deals with issues such as friendship, life changes and the fear of separation. The digital release of this animation provides a new opportunity for viewers who prefer to watch it at home.

I can't believe that it has only sold 52 million dollars so far, and with a budget of 80 million dollars, it's really a heavy financial failure for DreamWorks 🥀 At least it got good grades, but I'm still wondering how the people were hyped for this work before the release and they said that when the producer of Puss in Boots made it, it was definitely a masterpiece, but when it was released, it was so poorly received!? In general, the condition of the original animations of this decade is really bad, which makes them look for more and more milking and making sequels
