neutral · AI labelView post →Just got back from seeing “The Forgotten Island”. Might be my favorite film of the year. Fun, beautiful, original, heartfelt.. Definitely worth seeing in a theater. 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 →Recreated the Forgotten Island poster but with @ajmarekart.bsky.social 's Murphy and Mitzi in it. Also it's been confirmed that the movie takes place in the early 2000s just like Murphy and Mitzi takes place in the early 2000s and they both feature 2 chaotic best friends.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Forgotten Island was already a stellar film, but it would be even better if it had been about Jo and Raissa trying (and failing) to lose their tonnage before Rai's flight to California.
positive · AI labelView post →If you want a good adult animated horror movie with anthro characters go watch Birdboy and the Forgotten Children. Literally no one talks about this movie in the animation community and it makes me sad

neutral · AI labelView post →THE FORGOTTEN ISLAND: A+ animated film, I enjoyed every second of it. if you like animation, do not miss~
positive · AI labelView post →The Dutch war film, The Forgotten Battle (De Slag om de Schelde - Netflix 2020) was a pretty good effort at showing the war from a Canadian perspective. With Hollywood nowhere in sight. 🇨🇦🇬🇧
positive · AI labelView post →I was busy Friday and didn't do my usual #LetterboxdFriday post, so I'm doing it today. I've hit 2004 in my Oscar-watching. And mostly for @raysidman.bsky.social (because he won't make the discussion group tomorrow), I included my review of The Forgotten in the screenshot. #LastFourWatched
neutral · AI labelView post →Thank you to everyone who took the time to reply about how they found out about the Forgotten Island movie. Marketing is very esoteric to me and the whole media environment has evolved so much, it was interesting to hear your responses.
neutral · AI labelView post →i was on the Forgotten Video Store podcast to talk about the all but forgotten 1990 film, You and What Army?, starring Jenny Lewis! it’s a madcap time travel teen lesbian romance adventure! if you don’t remember it, that’s probably because it doesn’t actually exist
neutral · AI labelView post →I hope they play the Forgotten Island trailer so that we get to see “Who Let the Dogs Out” be referenced in an upcoming film, followed up by the film that popularized it

neutral · AI labelView post →the Forgotten Island trailer doesn't grab me, and IDK if it's the actual movie itself or... if people using it to put down Disney movies has soured it for me.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Forgotten Beasts of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip. Although I'd love to see it as an anime film, not live action. I think it would have been the perfect book for Miyazaki to adapt. he would have created a masterpiece of animation with that story.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wanna highlight this movie. Cos I feel like in western countries, Marxists don't talk enough about what imperialist and genocidal western liberal democracies did to Laos. Or what the Laotian Socialists and Communists accomplished fighting western imperialists. The Forgotten War is an amazing movie.
positive · AI labelView post →#letterboxdfriday #letterboxd #lastfourwatched #filmsky The Forgotten Pistolero - mediocre spaghetti western Snatch - one of my favorite films s Easy Rider - holds up pretty well 50+ years later Journey to the Beginning of Time - 1950s Polish stop motion film. Lots of fun
neutral · AI labelView post →The Shadow in My Eye (aka The Bombardment on Ntflx) is a recent #Danish film built around an event in WW2. The Forgotten Battle (Ntflx) is a recent #Dutch film built around an event in WW2. The perspectives of these two films are long overdue. Clumsy fatal mistakes contrast the occasional joy.

neutral · AI labelView post →Great art deserves to be shared. I stumbled upon a WWII movie on Netflix called The Forgotten Battle. Told via 3 interwoven stories, the movie focuses on the Battle of the Scheldt, one of Canada's key contributions to the war.A+ Here's the trailer, if you're curious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTUV...

positive · AI labelView post →I'm gonna answer a question I can see coming at me ahead of time: No I am not gonna see the Forgotten Island movie. A movie can look as fantastically made as it can, but the moment a controversy happens, no matter if its resolved or not, completely ruins the movie for me. Never really cared tbh
negative · AI labelView post →Fortune's weave getting amazing scores across the board, The Forgotten Island movie is approaching soon and also being praised. Can I get a yea yea.
neutral · AI labelView post →Since the Forgotten Island Mystery Movie was not advertised as a “Family Fun” mystery movie like Shaun the Sheep was… I can expect a bunch of walkouts like what people reported when they showed Spy X Family’s movie as one. Which is funny, because they failed to see this scene.

neutral · AI labelView post →Feels shitty to see a beautiful movie like The Forgotten Island being pulled from theaters already due to lack of interest, yet so many people I know sure run out to see the latest “live action” remake slop, and sequels no one asked for from Disney.
