Forgotten Island is a 2026 American animated fantasy adventure comedy film written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the film features the voices of H.E.R., Liza Soberano, Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng, and Lea Salonga. Set during the 1990s in the Philippines, the story follows two childhood friends, Raissa and Jo, who become trapped in the mystical world of Nakali—which gradually feeds on the memories of those within—where they must escape before they forget about each other.
DreamWorks Animation officially announced the film in April 2025, with Crawford and Mercado attached to write and direct. They drew inspirations on their friendship and Philippine mythology. Initial members of the cast were announced in October 2025, with further casting later confirmed the following March.
Early "work-in-progress" screenings were held at the 2026 CinemaCon and at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Forgotten Island is scheduled to be released by Universal Pictures on September 25, 2026.
