DreamWorks Animation and Universal Pictures have released the first trailer and poster for the new animated feature “Forgotten Island”.
Much of the team behind the highly celebrated “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” is back for this with Oscar nominee Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado writing and directing while Mark Swift produces.
Grammy and Oscar winner H.E.R. along with Liza Soberano (“Lisa Frankenstein”) star as high school graduates Jo and Raissa, who 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 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 (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.
Also lending their voices are Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy and Ronny Chieng.
