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 (Tony winning icon 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.

| 279721 | Wendy Lee Szany | The Movie Couple | Fresh | — | 2026-09-26T05:32:49.000Z | 2026-09-26 05:32:49 | Forgotten Island delivers gorgeous animation, memorable characters, great music, and plenty of heart. This is a film that knows how to have fun and still touch on the emotional heartstrings of friendship. |

A beautiful love letter to the power of friendship, memories, and the moments that shape us into who we’re meant to become. With jaw dropping, uniquely vibrant animation that brings every frame to life |

With bold visuals, enchanting performances, and a grounding in cultural specificity (that in turn makes it a universal tale) this is a wonderful film. |
| 279594 | Doug Walker | Channel Awesome | Fresh | — | 2026-09-24T23:29:41.000Z | 2026-09-24 23:29:41 | 3 / 4 Though it has far too many sugar rush moments that make me think the film needs a Ritalin, the creative visuals, funny animation, and emotionally driven characters make those moments worth getting through. |

Mercado, loudly insists on its own girl power. It’s pitifully short of the comedic and narrative kinds, however. |
| 279596 | Tasha Robinson | Polygon | Fresh | B+ | 2026-09-24T22:30:41.000Z | 2026-09-24 22:30:41 | After seeing the directors put more creativity into DreamWorks sequels than they probably deserve, it’s exhilarating to see them flex with an original story. It's uniquely appropriate for a movie built around the importance of memories to be so memorable. |
| 279597 | Nell Minow | Movie Mom | Fresh | B | 2026-09-24T21:42:10.000Z | 2026-09-24 21:42:10 | The discussion of memories is well handled, but what’s best is the relationship of the two heroines, very different in temperament and outlook but appreciating each other. A sweet concluding scene is more magical than even the most fanciful character. |

Like the many baubles dangling from Jo and Raissa’s wrists, it could stand to lose a few. |

It was so saturated. I also loved the mix of 3D animation and back to 2D. And the flashback to cartoons we watched growing up like Dragon Ball Z and Sailor Moon. |

That affection travels surprisingly far. |
