Everybody keeps complaining that Hollywood doesn’t make anything original anymore.
Okay.
Then WHY ARE Y’ALL SLEEPING ON FORGOTTEN ISLAND?!
DreamWorks just released one of the strangest, brightest, most visually creative animated movies I’ve seen in a while. Forgotten Island throws its characters into the mythical island of Nakali and builds its world around creatures and stories drawn from Filipino mythology—and the result is something that actually feels DIFFERENT.
The animation is completely bonkers. The comedy gets surprisingly mature. The mythology gives us creatures and ideas mainstream American animation almost never touches. And underneath all that chaos is a genuinely lovely theme about kindness, forgiveness, and the idea that maybe defeating someone doesn’t always require destroying them.
And somehow the movie communicates all of that without turning into a two-hour lecture about BEING NICE.
Is it Puss in Boots: The Last Wish?
No.
But almost NOTHING is Puss in Boots: The Last Wish because that movie was absolute peak.
But if you loved the energy, visual experimentation, humor, and heart of The Last Wish, there is a very good chance Forgotten Island is going to be your kind of movie. It even comes from writers/directors Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado and producer Mark Swift—the filmmaking team behind The Last Wish.
So if you’re one of the people constantly asking Hollywood to take chances on original movies?
HERE IS YOUR CHANCE TO ACTUALLY SUPPORT ONE.
Go see the weird stuff.
Then come back and tell me what you thought.
