Please go see "Forgotten Island"
After last night, this has become the best animated movie of the year and one of DreamWorks' best to come out. It's like a family friendly version of Joy Ride (also better) mixed with The Hangover and Coco. They also should have definitely found a way to market this better because the first few minutes in, I was already having a good time.
The animation is absolutely amazing. Like with the spiderverse movies and K-Pop Demon Hunters, there's more than one type of artsyle and it all looks great. The score and pop culture music was another highlight, the humor got to me more than once, and several emotional moments got me in the feels.
The voice acting is also a big highlight, especially from Liza Soberano (Lisa Frankenstein) and musical artist H.E.R. as the main duo Raissa and Jo - two best friends since childhood that live in the Philippines, but things begin to change when Jo (the carefree and outgoing one) finds out Raissa (the more smarter and thoughtful one) going to CalTech in America. Other people I enjoyed were Dave Franco, Manny Jacinto, and Jenny Slate.
There is a couple nitpicks I had with certain parts of the story, but overall it's a film that is definitely one of the best I've seen this year and I highly recommend others go out to see it as well.
