The new trailer for DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island has just been released. You can check out the trailer below! The film will be in theaters this September and invites you to “experience the adventure of a lifetime.”
DreamWorks Animation, the studio that brought you unforgettable bonds between a boy and a dragon in How to Train Your Dragon, an ogre and a donkey in Shrek, and a robot and a gosling in The Wild Robot, now welcomes a dazzling and emotional story about two lifelong best friends who must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.
This new and original film 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. Grammy and Academy Award® winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school but are now about to embark on separate life paths.
Your best friendship is worth fighting for.
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 (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, Manny Jacinto, BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon, global comedy superstar Jo Koy, and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng.
