Your best friendship is worth fighting for.
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. These friends must come together before they drift apart in Forgotten Island.
The new original film is written and directed by Academy Award nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado. It is produced by Academy Award nominee Mark Swift, the filmmaking team behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
THE PREMISE
Grammy and Academy Award-winning supernova H.E.R. and Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein, Alone/Together) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa. They have been best friends since grade school, but are now about to embark on separate life paths.
While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal. The portal transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali. This island is packed with magical and mythological creatures, which they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.
Some of these figures will become friends, while some will become 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). This creature is the most feared one on the island. Eventually, they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home. So, 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 (Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Dying for Sex), Manny Jacinto (The Good Place, Top Gun: Maverick), BAFTA nominee Dolly de Leon (Triangle of Sadness, Ghostlight), global comedy superstar Jo Koy (Haunted Mansion, Jo Koy: Live from Brooklyn) and Emmy winner Ronny Chieng (The Daily Show, M3GAN).
