it was a pleasure to work on FORGOTTEN ISLAND, a rambunctious, insane, and powerful tribute to friendship, Filipino folklore, and animation. the biggest shoutouts to the ANIM/CROWDS teams, the best in the business ❤️
enjoy FORGOTTEN ISLAND in theaters NOW!
#ForgottenIsland
i hope forgotten island has the same quiet but then explosive success like kpop demon hunters. everyone always doubts an underdog unique story until it's given a chance
watched it with my friends who are all doing animated thesis films for our 4th year, and we left the cinema feeling inspired, it sparked many discussions in the group! the movie represented us so well, from the visuals and structure of it. its as obnoxious crazy loud as we
Listen, I love Marvel & the #Avengers too, but you need to assemble the squad to see #ForgottenIsland this weekend.
Don’t let this be the endgame for Filipino representation in mainstream media!
I’m not even kidding I absolutely cannot believe the marketing for this movie is a fake out to hide the plot. Absolutely awesome villain on top of that on par with puss in boots
🤷🏾♀️ #FORGOTTENISLAND does not have to flop if we don’t let it.
Yes, a low opening weekend box office is not ideal, but high critic scores and fantastic word-of-mouth can easily turn a slow start into a long, successful theatrical run.
• The days of original animation instantly blowing up in theaters like Coco and Zootopia did are not going to come back overnight. It is going to take time.
• And yes, film studios 100% need to do better with marketing because they are not trying anywhere near enough (look at the previous post on my page for creative ideas).
• But we also have to keep supporting, showing our love, and stop engaging in toxic stan wars because that only slows down the box office recovery for the whole medium.
• IF YOU LOVE ORIGINAL ANIMATION, GO OUT AND SUPPORT IT:
#FORGOTTENISLAND (DreamWorks)
#WILDWOOD (Laika—yes, it counts!)
#STEPS (Netflix Animation—stream)
#HEXED (Disney Animation)
Directors Joel Crawford & Januel Mercado say AI could never make an animated film like ‘FORGOTTEN ISLAND’.
“The things we do remember make us who we are, and they create they lens that we, especially as artists, see the world through. That’s something that AI can never replace.”
George Lucas spent 17 YEARS getting this museum built and its first movie premiere is not Star Wars, not some legacy franchise, but an ORIGINAL DreamWorks film rooted in Filipino mythology.
Even better, Forgotten Island premiered there ONE DAY after the museum opened to the public. 😭
A building dedicated to the history of visual storytelling opened its movie-premiere era by giving a new culture and a new story the spotlight.
That is actually a pretty perfect first film.
Forgotten Island is never for miserable people who have no real friends btw
I am either seeing bots repeating opinions that the movie is cringe and deserved to be hated, or just chuds who never got out of the house to socialize with lack of whimsyness.
yeah cool it's not like i used it to communicate with friends i care about and share crucial work files with people i work with
fuckin cool. exactly what i wanted. fuck.
Regarding the internet situation in the philippines:
If you are from the United States, Australia, Canada and New Zealand, you may need to contact your Representative or Senator about it. Same goes for EU, contact your MEPs.
Our Government is trying to censor the internet.
