FORGOTTEN ISLAND Movie Review – This Story Felt Extremely Personal!

A Beautiful Celebration Of Friendship And Filipino Culture! Greg Alba & Jon Maturan watch DreamWorks Animation’s Forgotten Island (2026) for the first time in this full movie reaction and review! From the filmmakers behind Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, the movie follows lifelong best friends Jo and Raissa through a mysterious portal to Nakali, an island filled with magical creatures from the Filipino stories they heard growing up. Greg & Jon react to the movie’s striking animation, Jo and Raissa’s changing friendship, the chaotic weredog Raww, Bungi Tiyanak and the Wild Pack, the terrifying Manananggal, and the emotional realization that escaping Nakali could cost the friends every memory they share!
