About
Forgotten Island is an animated film screening at a cinema in London. It was made by DreamWorks Animation and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, with H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate and Manny Jacinto among the voices. The story follows Jo and Raissa, high school graduates and lifelong best friends about to take separate paths in life, who during their last night together stumble upon a mysterious portal. It transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, full of magical and mythological creatures from the stories they grew up hearing from their Filipino families.

Critics
7.5Very good
Critics praise the imaginative, visually bold animation, the heartfelt friendship story, and the blend of Filipino mythology with coming-of-age themes. Little is faulted, apart from minor pacing or narrative weaknesses.
