"Jo" and "Raissa" wake up one morning without a clue what happened the night before except that they had found a magical shell like object that had mysteriously transported them to the island of "Nakali". Before long they've befriended, well interrogated really, a dog/fox called "Raww" who suggests they visit a cat straight out of "Macbeth" - the only creature who can get them back home now that they've gone and lost their talisman. There is a price to pay, though, and that is their memory bracelets. They must sacrifice all that binds them together if they are to escape.

ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATION MOVIE FROM DREAMWORKS ANIMATION!! IT'S WORTH IT TO WATCH ON THE BIG SCREEN!!! Forgotten Island from DreamWorks animation is good especially if you watch it on big screen at the cinemas. The movie shows the Filipino culture and it's about friendships. The only problem of DreamWorks for this movie is it's fast paced, I hope their next animation movie is slow paced so that viewers like me can absorb much more of the story and lessons from the movie. But overall the movie and the animation is good, and the songs in the movie is good and so nice to hear.

DreamWorks' *Forgotten Island* delivers everything I expected: Glorious animation with some really cool anime references, hilarious jokes and physical comedy, strong character bonds and interactions, powerful, tear-jerking emotional scenes, immersive world-building, and an upbeat soundtrack that rivals even the likes of *KPop Demon Hunters*. This movie's story-which is all about the fear of separation between best friends Jo and Raissa-reminds me of my own friendship with my best friend Christopher Kapoun, and how he moved away, but we stayed together as besties even after that moment happened. The Nakali island characters are also really fun and full of personality, although Manananggal and Raww are my favorites. And having the movie end with both Manananggal and Batiba redeem themselves by giving back people's items to ensure their memories remain intact really shows that...
