Dreamworks Animations Forgotten Island put out a new behind the scenes featurette. H.E.R. and Liza Soberano star in this animated adventure as Jo and Raissa. They’re two Filipino girls embarking on one last journey together as adulthood looms closer and closer. Seeing the interplay between H.E.R. and Soberano is a joy.

But, the featurette also captures the writer/director team of Joel Crawford and Januel Mercado. Forgotten Island is so steeped in Filipino history and lore. It’s really cool to see the culture rendered on a big screen like this.  Check out the new feature at up top for yourself!

Forgotten Island stunned with its first look

Here’s how Dreamworks bills the animated feature: “While celebrating their last night together, Jo and Raissa stumble upon a mysterious portal that transports them to the fantastical island of Nakali, packed with magical and mythological creatures they grew up hearing stories about from their Filipino families.”

“Some of these figures will become friends, some foes. Joined by well-meaning-but- hapless weredog Raww (Dave Franco) and a small-but-mighty pack of pals, Jo and Raissa must face The Dreaded Manananggal (Tony winning icon Lea Salonga), the most feared creature on the island. When they discover that the memories of their entire friendship are the price for returning home, Jo and Raissa will race to find a way to leave the island before they forget each other forever.”
