Forgotten Island arrives to buy or rent at home in Australia on 28 October – DreamWorks Animation’s fantasy adventure moves from cinemas to Australian digital stores on Wednesday 28 October. Viewers can buy or rent Forgotten Island through Prime Video, Apple TV, Fetch, Foxtel, Google TV and YouTube.
The distinction matters for anyone looking for the film on a streaming service: this is a digital purchase or rental release, rather than an announced inclusion with a subscription. The Australian availability and platform list come from the local home-entertainment announcement. Prices and rental terms will depend on the retailer.
Jo and Raissa’s friendship is at the heart of Forgotten Island
Jo and Raissa have been friends since childhood, but they are about to take different paths after school. On their final night together, they find a portal to Nakali, an island shaped by the Filipino myths they heard growing up. A journey home becomes more urgent when they learn that leaving may cost them the memories of their entire friendship.
The premise gives the adventure a clear emotional stake beneath its creatures, colour and comedy. Their companions include Raww, a well-meaning weredog, while the feared Manananggal stands among the dangers they encounter. As they race to escape, the two friends must decide what it means to hold on to each other while their lives change.
H.E.R. and Liza Soberano voice Jo and Raissa. The wider voice cast includes Dave Franco, Jenny Slate, Manny Jacinto, Dolly de Leon, Jo Koy, Ronny Chieng and Lea Salonga. Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado wrote and directed the film, with Mark Swift producing. The filmmaking team previously worked on Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
Where Australians can watch it at home
Forgotten Island is available to buy or rent from 28 October on Prime Video, Apple TV, Fetch, Foxtel, Google TV and YouTube. Viewers should check the individual storefront for its local price, picture format and rental window before ordering. No Australian subscription-streaming date has been announced in the supplied information.
The new home release follows the film’s Australian cinema run in September. It also gives families who missed that run a way to watch the story at home without waiting for a subscription window.
