Friendship is put to the test in the craziest ways when two lifelong friends are transported to a mythical island… will they be strong enough to remember what matters most before they drift apart; in theaters September 25.
DreamWorks Animation has just dropped the second Official Trailer for their all-new animated adventure… Forgotten Island, set to hit theaters on September 25.
Directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, and producer Mark Swift, the creative team behind the hit adventure comedy, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, have returned with a story about the craziest test of friendship…
Grammy and Academy Award winner H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, best friends since grade school but now about to embark on separate life paths. While celebrating their last night together, the pair 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 (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), 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 film’s all-star voice cast also includes Emmy nominee Jenny Slate (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), global comedy superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).
The film is written and directed by Crawford and Mercado. Crawford produces. It’s being distributed by Universal Pictures.
