MOVIE REVIEW: Forgotten Island

The Record reviewed the animated adventure Forgotten Island, warning parents that the film is too frightening for young children and contains messages inappropriate for impressionable viewers. The review notes that the screenplay, written and directed by Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado, portrays rule-breaking and disrespectful behavior as fun.

The story follows two Filipina friends, Raissa and Jo, who travel to the mystical isle of Nakali through a magical portal. During their journey, the characters encounter figures from Philippine mythology, including a youthful were-dog named Raww, a three-eyed baby demon called Bungi, and a cave dweller.
