neutral · AI labelView post →just finished Forgotten Island... REALLY GOOD FILM.... I loved it A LOT it is a bit fast paced towards the first half of the movie, but it's all really good and silly fun, with a message I REALLY resonate with on a personal level also some INSANE 2D animation??? which I was SUPER not expecting?? 😱

Lotta laughs n tears, and some of the best, most diverse n dynamic CG animation I’ve ever seen in a mainstream animated film.

positive · AI labelView post →DreamWorks has a brand new animated film out where two Filipino best friends end up on a magical island that tests their friendship. It's both one of the best from DreamWorks and one of the best of the year. Anyway, here's my review of Forgotten Island.
positive · AI labelView post →Character from the new “Forgotten Island” movie oh my gosh hahaha
neutral · AI labelView post →About to see Forgotten Island and I think they shouldn’t have 95% of animated film trailers play only in front of other animated films. I think that really limits their reach an—oh my god is this cocomelon they are making a cocomelon movie okay whatever

neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna need everyone to see Forgotten Island in theaters, that movie absolutely slaps and is neck and neck for my movie of the year. There's also some hot demons in there for those who are so inclined.
positive · AI labelView post →Forgotten Island is a must watch. Everything about this movie is great. The story, the characters, the jokes, just everything. My face hurts from laughing so much.

neutral · AI labelView post →Anyways, just thought I'd throw in my big 2 cents on the entire "bad marketing" argument. Go see Forgotten Island while you can. It's a great movie and I don't know how long cinemas will want to keep it up during this month.
positive · AI labelView post →Really hoping Forgotten Island manages to get by through strong word-of-mouth because it really is the best animated film I've seen this year up to now, and could very well end up being the best American one.
positive · AI labelView post →Forgotten Island was awesome! DreamWorks is so back! I can’t wait for their next film!
positive · AI labelView post →I watched Forgotten Island. Good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Toxic animation fans annoy me so much. Whether it is those who dump on Disney just to prop up another studio's film, or those who dump on another studio to prop up a Disney film. Me personally, I am eager to see Hexed and (hopefully) find the time to see Forgotten Island.
