DreamWorks has a brand new movie called Forgotten Island that has so much friendship, magic, and creativity, that it's filling the void left behind by beloved movies like How to Train Your Dragon and The Wild Robot. The new film (starring H.E.R. and Liza Soberano) is coming this fall and it's the perfect movie to see on a solo movie date or with all your friends!
In an age of sequels and reboots that no one asked for, I'm thrilled that we're getting such a creative story...and there's a very good chance I'll get emotional before the credits roll.
Here's everything you need to know about Forgotten Island before it premieres in September 2026.
What is Forgotten Island about?
The brand new movie follows best friends Jo (H.E.R.) and Raissa (Liza Soberano) on their last night before becoming adults. But when they find a portal and wind up on a magical island called Nakali, they come face-to-face with different creatures they've only ever heard in Filipino folklore.
Between new friends and new foes, Jo and Raissa have to figure out how to get home — especially when they learn they could lose every single memory of their friendship.
