DreamWorks' "Forgotten Island" Trailer Arrives, But Get Ready for a Long Wait
DreamWorks Animation just dropped the first official trailer for "Forgotten Island," an emotional journey about enduring friendship. But here's the twist: we won't see this film hit theaters until September 25, 2026. That's a long wait for a trailer drop!
The creative team behind the critically acclaimed "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" is at the helm. Directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, along with producer Mark Swift, are crafting this original story. Fans of Puss in Boots' stunning animation and mature themes have high expectations.
"Forgotten Island" centers on Jo and Raissa, two high school best friends facing separate futures. Their final night together takes a wild turn when a mysterious portal whisks them to Nakali, an island steeped in magical and mythological creatures from their Filipino heritage. They'll encounter figures both friendly and fearsome, including the terrifying Manananggal.

Catzye Take
The wait for "Forgotten Island" is long, but the creative team from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a massive draw. Plus, seeing Filipino folklore take center stage is a significant step for mainstream animation. This could be DreamWorks' next big emotional hit.
