DreamWorks has shared a poster and trailer for Forgotten Island, the animated adventure from writer-directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish).
The film follows high school graduates and best friends Jo and Raissa as send one final night together before of embarking on separate life paths, but during their celebrations they stumbles across a portal which takes them to a fantastical island, where they discover that their journey home comes at a cost.
Forgotten Island features the voice talents of H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng and Lea Salonga.
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.
Forgotten Island arrives in cinemas on September 25th.
