The first trailer introduces a vibrant world inspired by Filipino mythology, while posing a powerful question: what would you sacrifice to make it home?
Forgotten Island Trailer, Plot & Cast
The trailer follows two best friends, Jo and Raissa, on the brink of life changes after high school. Voiced by H.E.R. and Liza Soberano, the duo is unexpectedly transported to a mystical island called Nakali. Rooted in Filipino folklore, the island is filled with magical creatures, both friendly and dangerous.
Jo and Raissa meet a weredog named Raww, voiced by Dave Franco, and face dark forces like the terrifying Manananggal, voiced by Lea Salonga, who stand in their way.
As Jo and Raissa search for a path back home, they uncover a devastating truth: the only way to leave is to give up their memories. That sacrifice could mean losing each other forever, raising the emotional stakes far beyond a typical animated adventure. Directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, the film combines stunning visuals with deeply personal storytelling. Watch the official trailer below.
