DreamWorks Animation Reveals New Film ‘Forgotten Island,’ Sets Fall 2026 Release
DreamWorks Animation is setting sail for a magical island.
The Universal-owned animation studio announced a new original movie on Tuesday that’s titled Forgotten Island. It will open in theaters on Sept. 25, 2026.
Plot details are being kept under wraps, but the film is described as a broad party comedy adventure that transports the film’s protagonists to a long-forgotten, magical island rooted in Philippine mythology.
Joel Crawford (Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, The Croods 2) will direct and write the project with Januel Mercado. Crawford’s longtime collaborator Mark Swift will produce. The duo were previously nominated for a slew of awards, including the Oscar, for their critically acclaimed Puss in Boots sequel, which played in theaters in 2022.
Forgotten Island marks Mercado’s first full directing credit after getting a co-directing credit on Puss in Boots 2. He was also head of story for Crawford’s The Croods 2.
