Universal has unveiled the official trailer for DreamWorks Animation's Forgotten Island [FRGIS] based on Filipino mythology. ;H.E.R. and Liza Soberano star as best friends who are graduating from high school and must come together before going their separate ways. Written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, Forgotten Island opens in theaters on September 25th.
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 (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.
