Forgotten Island (2026)

A fantastic trailer has been released for the DreamWorks animated movie Forgotten Island , featuring the voice cast that includes H.E.R. and Liza Soberano , who star as best friends Jo and Raissa, who have been best friends since grade school, but are about to got their separate ways for college. As they get ready to say goodbye, they discover a mysterious portal that transports them to the mystical island of Nakali, with magical creatures they heard stories about from their Filipino families. The voice cast also features Jenny Slate , Manny Jacinto , Dolly de Leon , Jo Koy , and Ronny Chieng . The movie is co-written and co-directed by filmmakers Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado , who previously co-directed Puss in Boots: The Last Wish together. The film’s synopsis reads: “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 race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.” This looks so great! I love an original idea for a movie, which we get less and less of these days, and this looks not only original, but also very beautifully done. Check out the trailer below, and watch Forgotten Island when it’s released in theaters on September 25th.

Plus, Gillian Anderson is full of praise for the 'X-Files' reboot's script.
